Understand Your Student’s Diagnostic Results

What is the Diagnostic?

The Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions for each student. As a student answers correctly, the questions get more difficult. As a student answers incorrectly, the questions get easier. This adaptability allows the Diagnostic to identify your student’s specific strengths and opportunities for growth, so your student’s teacher(s) can better determine their needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the year.
