MobyMax's Adaptive Placement Tests are designed to quickly and accurately determine a student's current grade level while identifying any learning gaps from earlier grades. These diagnostic tests help teachers understand which foundational skills students are missing, allowing for targeted remediation that supports current learning.
In some cases, a student’s placement score may appear unexpectedly high or low. This could happen if:
The student rushed through the test.
The student lost proficiency after a long break.
The student received help during the test.
The student performed exceptionally well.
Options for Adjusting Placement Test Data
Option 1: Assign a New Placement Test
You can assign a new placement test at any time. Once completed, the student’s data will be updated to reflect the most recent results. This is a good option if you suspect the original score is inaccurate but want to retain a record of the earlier test.
Option 2: Delete the Existing Placement Test
If you believe the original score is significantly inaccurate, you may choose to delete the first placement test entirely. This removes the test from the student's history and ensures that only the new data is reflected in reports.
Option 3: Restart the Student in a Subject
Restarting a student clears all existing progress and data in that subject. This option is only recommended if you want the student to begin the subject from scratch. Use caution, as this action is not reversible.
Summary
MobyMax provides flexible options for managing placement test data to ensure instructional accuracy. Whether you assign a new test, delete an inaccurate one, or restart a subject, you can tailor the learning experience to fit each student's true skill level.
