Understanding the test results: The test does not give a score. It assigns a proficiency level for student placement. A result like 19/30 is not a level cutoff. Levels are assigned using per-level thresholds, with the adaptive question mix varying from student to student. Two students can share the same score but be placed differently. A + indicates performance at the top end of a level, without enough consistent evidence to move fully into the next level.

    • Listening proficiency - indicates whether it supports the grammar level
    • Reading proficiency - indicates whether it supports the grammar level
    • Writing proficiency - to be scored by the teacher
    • Speaking proficiency - to be scored by the teacher

    Review your student's answers on the central chart

    • Green - correct answers
    • Orange - incorrect answers
    • Yellow - "I don't know" responses
    • Grey - questions skipped automatically when a level proved too difficult

    Gap Analysis: Located below the chart. View the most valuable section for lesson planning.

    • The level of each error
    • The question, student's answer, and the correct answer
    • The recommended Off2class lesson that addresses the gap

    Review the Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking sections to gain insight into your student’s broader language ability.

    • Listening: Play the prompt your student heard and review their responses. The summary will note whether their listening ability aligns with their grammar level.
    • Reading: View the text your student received and see which questions they answered correctly or incorrectly. The summary will note whether their reading ability aligns with their grammar level.
    • Writing: Read the student’s written response and evaluate whether it aligns with their other skills.

    Reviewing the Adaptive placement test results

    The Adaptive Placement Test provides a streamlined overview of your student’s grammar, reading, and listening proficiency.

    Start by reviewing the Grammar proficiency level shown at the top of the page. This indicates your student’s current level based on their responses.

    Use the central chart to review your student’s performance across the test and see which questions they answered correctly or incorrectly.

    Review the Grammar, Listening, and Reading sections to see:

    • The student's proficiency level in each skill area.
    • Which questions they answered correctly or incorrectly.
    • The recommended Off2class lesson that helps address gaps. 

    Note: Writing and Speaking are not currently included in the Adaptive Placement Test.
