Reviewing Test Completion Rates
For information about the Test Progress Summary report, navigate to this topic: Reviewing Test Progress Summary Reports
The Test Completion Rates report summarizes the rates of students who have started or completed a test.
Alert: The Test Completion Rates report calculates overnight, not on-demand. The report shows the date it was exported and the time the information was processed, calculated for the Eastern Time zone.
There are several ways to view the results:
• By all students for each test selected (default behavior) (one row per test)
• By students’ enrolled grade for each test selected (one row per grade per test)
• By component tests and their scoring combos* (multiple rows displaying and grouping component tests and their scoring combos together)
*Only shows tests with component parts. For example: Biology Part 1 + Biology Part 2 = Biology Scoring Combo total. Not all tests have component test parts, so this report may be blank if the test selected does not contain a scoring combo. You can find more information on scoring combos and other report options later in this section.
To review test completion rates:
1.From the Monitoring Test Progress task menu on the dashboard, select Test Completion Rates. The Test Completion Rates page appears.
2.In the Report Criteria panel, select the parameters for which tests to include in your report.
3.Optional: Select a different report output under Additional Options to more granular participation and completion information.
a.To display test completion rates for all students per test, leave the drop-down at Select. This runs the default report.
This option allows you to track participation at the test level across all grades, showing totals for eligible students, students completed, and students started.
b.To display test completion rates for each test disaggregated by participating students' enrolled grades, select Show By Grade.
Showing results by grade allows you to track participation across enrolled grades. This is useful, for instance, when you have a test that all grade 6 students must take that also has some limited off-grade participation among grades 4 and 5. This report makes it easy to track overall completion within the grade 6 population without the off-grade testers skewing the rates.
c.To display overall test completion progress across ALL component tests in a given scoring combo and the total for the combo, select Show By Scoring Combo.
Showing results by scoring combo allows you to track test completion progress across ALL component tests in a scoring combo. These tests are administered as separate tests (parts) and then the scores are combined into one score on the combo. For example, English Language Arts Part 1 is a component test and English Language Arts Part 2 is another component test of the English Language Arts Scoring Combo. Completion progress is shown per component test and for the combo. When this option is selected, only component tests associated with a scoring combo are returned in the report; standalone tests that are not combined with any other test for scoring are not included in the report.
4.To view the report, select Export Report. This report can only be exported to a spreadsheet application, like Microsoft Excel, and does not display on the TIDE screen.
