Requesting an Imagine Galileo Benchmark Test Analysis

The Testing Activity report allows District Administrators to request a Benchmark test analysis from Imagine Galileo. The data from the analysis populates all the widgets on the dashboard—Categorical Growth Summary, Risk Level Summary, Student Growth and Achievement, and Benchmark Performance Levels (Developmental Level scores). 

To receive the advanced statistical data analysis of Benchmark Assessments, state data forecasting must first be input in Imagine Galileo. Then, to ensure the accuracy of the data analysis, Imagine Learning recommends that at least 80% of your students complete the test before the analysis request is made. 

 Note

Overscheduling the number of students that are expected to take the Benchmark skews the completion percentage. In the example below, if you schedule a test for 70 students but only 40 are required to complete the test, the test is actually ready for analysis (36 out of 40 is 90% complete) even though the participation rate shows 51% (36 out of 70 is 51% complete).

Once you are satisfied with the test completion rate, request an analysis of the test.
