These tests are taken on the computer in the computer lab. Each test is about 40 minutes long although most students finish the tests prior to that.

What is A
Lexile Score?
A Lexile
measure is a valuable piece of information about either an individual's reading
ability or the difficulty of a text, like a book or magazine article. The
Lexile measure is shown as a number with an "L" after it — 880L is
880 Lexile.
A student
gets his or her Lexile reader measure from a reading test or program. For
example, if a student receives an 880L on her end-of-grade reading test, she is
an 880 Lexile reader. Higher Lexile measures represent a higher level of
reading ability. A Lexile reader measure can range from below 200L for
beginning readers to above 1700L for advanced readers. Readers who score at or
below 0L receive a BR for Beginning Reader.

SCHOLASTIC MATH
INVENTORY™ (SMI)
- A research-based, computer-adaptive math assessment program for students in Grades 2 – 9+ that measures math understanding on The Quantile Framework® for Mathematics.
- The most powerful feature of SMI is its ability to administer fast and reliable low-stakes assessment to inform instruction and make accurate placement recommendations.
- Aligned to the Common Core State Standards, SMI helps educators forecast student achievement to those important goals.
· SMI was developed in partnership with MetaMetrics, the creators of The Quantile Framework® for Mathematics – a proven measure of math achievement and math concept difficulty.
· The Quantile Measure
· The Quantile Framework for Mathematics uses the Quantile measure to evaluate both math achievement and the level of math skills and concepts. By placing both student and instruction on the same scale, the Quantile Framework allows educators to evaluate curriculum needs based on each student’s level of performance.
