The Diagnostic assessment was created in response to teacher requests for an additional assessment that provides more information at the skill level and specifically for students who could have done better on the screener assessment.

The screener answers, "Who may need more help or support?"

The math diagnostic assessment answers, "What skills might the student need help with?"

The diagnostic assessment is a fixed-form test of 40 questions. Track My Progress offers a diagnostic assessment for each grade level from PK through grade eight. There is a new diagnostic assessment for each of the four assessment windows.

We suggest that all students take the universal screener assessment. Students with red (and possibly yellow) scores could be considered for the diagnostic assessment. After completing the screener assessment, students will be placed into the appropriate grade level of the diagnostic assessment.

Results from the diagnostic assessment can be found by clicking Skills at the top left of the screen and then selecting the grade, class, and student name. Learn more here.

After students complete the screener assessment, the diagnostic assessment will become available. You can see what a student's next assessment will be by consulting the Activity tab. You can also change the next assessment assignment from the Activity tab. See this article for instructions.

For diagnostic assessments, Math and ELA are currently available.
