Beginning-of-year diagnostic

Find out what they kept over the summer

Most pretests quiz students on this year’s standards, material they have never been taught, so nearly everyone misses them and the data tells you nothing. These checks test the skills from the grade before, so the results show retention you can act on in the first week.

Questions

Readiness check questions

Why test last year’s skills instead of this year’s?

A pretest on this year’s standards quizzes students on material they have never been taught, so nearly everyone misses it and the results say nothing. Every item here maps to a standard from the grade before, so the results show what students kept over the summer.

How long does it take?

The full check is 24 free-response questions, each with a self-rating. The free Day 1 Mini is five questions per grade and takes about ten minutes, including the self-ratings.

What do I do with the results?

Score by domain on the Class Gap-Tracker, one row per domain and one column per student. A domain half the class misses is where your first warm-ups and reteach go, and the Shore Up These Skills page maps every domain to a resource for it.

Can I edit it?

Yes. Every check comes as a fully editable Word file as well as a print-ready PDF.
