How does the adaptive diagnostic assessment work?
The diagnostic assessments are computer-adaptive tests that measure skill readiness and academic growth in mathematics, reading, and language arts. As students take the assessment, the algorithm of the test works in real-time to deliver specific questions. For example, if the student answers incorrectly, the assessment lowers the difficulty level for the next item. On the other hand, if the student answers correctly, the assessment raises the difficulty level for the next item. This video provides details on the goals and process.
