Star Assessments are computer-adaptive tests, meaning each student’s testing experience is unique. For new students, Star starts at grade level—or at the level set by their teacher. For returning students, Star picks up at the level they left off.
When a student answers a question correctly, Star automatically selects a more difficult item to be the next question. When a student answers a question incorrectly, the opposite occurs and the next item is less difficult than the current one.
By adapting to students and eliminating unnecessary questions, Star can accurately measure student performance and growth with fewer items and less time. Complete results are immediately available for educators via interactive, easy-to-read reports.
The system understands how skills relate to one another—and that a student correctly answering advanced items doesn’t need to be tested separately on the basic component skills. For example, a student who aces complex algebra questions won’t see items testing basic addition skills.
Star data is linked to the ACT and SAT college entrance exams. You’ll know as early as sixth grade which students are on track for meeting college expectations.
In addition to achievement, Star measures growth via a Student Growth Percentile. Learn what SGP is, how it’s measured, and why it matters.
Star leverages empirically validated learning progressions to help you keep all students on track for your state’s grade-level standards.
Star has been approved by more than two dozen states as a sole assessment solution or as part of an approved list.
