Exact Scores for Instructional Areas on the Grade Breakdown Report
The exact RIT score for Instructional Areas should be available in the Grade Breakdown report rather than a RIT range. Currently, the only way to get exact student data is to download repeatedly from the Class Profile report which is not possible when examining data and determining MTSS placement at the school or district level.

Use human reader voices for the read aloud.
Please use human readers for the story passages. The computerized voice runs over punctuation, mashes words together, and puts unnatural breaks in sentences. For example it sounds like: "Where are we going?"........."asked John he sat"........"down in his chair."
Students who can read to themselves have the advantage of "hearing" the story read fluently, which aids their comprehension. Students who actually NEED the read aloud have to listen to it read dysfluently, and that's so unnecessary and unfair. I've had students with IEPs take their headphones off and say they would rather wing it than hear the "annoying" robot voice. There's…

K-2 Screening and Skills Checklist Reports
There is currently no way to export/batch all of the data from the K-2 Screening tests in csv or xls. The existing report only lets you export as PDF. The class report doesn't fit on one page and doesn't let you change the formating to fit on one page. The by student report has to be done one at a time for each test and each student. Please add a batch option for individual reports or add these tests to the options for batch print in family reports

Remove Final "Wagging Dog" Page from Growth K-2 Test
We've noticed an issue with the Growth K-2 test. A lot of students think they’re done, but their status shows as “suspended.” They often forget to click the “Next” button when they get to the final reward or wagging dog page, which means the test doesn’t actually finish. As a result, their scores don’t show up in the report.
This makes it hard to tell who’s actually finished the test and who hasn’t, since we can’t tell if they just missed the "Next" button or didn't complete the exam. The page seems unnecessary and just adds confusion. Removing it would…

Improve text-to-speech
The text to speech pronounces environment incorrectly, as it pronounces the second 'n'. Also, it pronounces 20,000 as "20, zero zero zero". You could make the program run a check for whether the text says 3 numbers after a comma, or if there's just a space and 2 other characters. (Idea submitted by a student.)

improve visual impairment accommodations
We have a child whose results will have no validity because the test does not allow for sufficient visual impairment accommodations. The test needs to allow for:
-Dark mode (white background fatigues the student's eyes)
-Sans serif font (serif font is very difficult to read with the student's impairment)
-Ability to magnify beyond 200% (graphics and math formulas sometimes require greater magnification)
-Ability to magnify charts, graphs, and answer choices (these could not be enlarged/made readable)The unsecured browser over-rode all the native Visual Impairment settings on the student's laptop and would not allow them to be re-set. Either a…

Adding back student data to Student Profile graphs!
When clicking on individual students reports, at the bottom of the report on the line graph that shows the data over time, you used to be able to click on any term, and all the student information appeared. (RIT score, percentage, how many minutes the test took, Rapid Guessing percentage, etc.). Now - that information is no longer available!! It only shows the students' RIT score. Why would you take away all that helpful data?!? If I'm trying to look at students' data over time to look for patterns, why would you not keep it all in the same place??…

Allow clickable word definitions that might hinder a students understanding of a standard based question or answer
Many of the problems students have with the questions are: they don’t know what a word means within that question or answer choice. The standard being measured does not include their knowledge of those words. Have the ability to click a word they don’t know to have the meaning pop up.

Data Point Boxes in Growth over Time Chart
With the 2020 norms, you were able to see the details in black boxes when you click on the data points in the Growth over Time (trend data) chart. With the 2025 norms, that information is not there anymore. Can you please add the data back into the boxes as it's helpful and efficient to look up previous information for the historical data. Thanks!

Remove projections for grades 1 and 2

Family Report Defaults
Can administrators have the capability to alter what is checked by default in the Family Report? If I could change the defaults, it would prevent our teachers from sending out reports that have extraneous information like SAT/ACT/EOG if we don't want that info sent out for our youngest students.

When students are taking their time and writing notes it often kicks them out and they have to start over on a new passage.
When students are taking their time and writing notes it often kicks them out and they have to start over on a new passage. Maybe have a button they can press that freezes the screen or test so it doesn’t think they are inactive?

Immediate Invalid data notification
Most campuses want to test students who show Invalid data right away. The District users are the ones who need also see that for the student. Right now, as soon as the student receives this notice, there is not a way for the district person to see it in order to reset it. We call to validate. Please change the student's status from completed to invalid right away.

User Friendly data on Learning Continuum
Gathering data from the learning continuum report is very combersome and overwhelming. We previously used STAR and they had a report with all of the grade level standards- each student score was color coded in accordance with their proficiency on each standard. If they were above grade level on that standard- they were blue, on grade level- they were green, slightly below was yellow, and far below was red. It made it very easy to see which standards I need to focus on.
This learning continuum reprt, I have to look at the report, then look at each student to…1 vote -
Add an alert on the proctor console to show the test is invalid once it's completed
It would be helpful if you could add an alert on the proctor console to show the test is invalid once it's completed, especially in cases where the test doesn't meet the minimum test duration requirements.

Family Reports
Please allow us to upload the family reports by school also not just individually by teacher. It will save so much time when we need all the reports alphabetically. Just like we can do in the Student Progress Reports. Thanks

Session name generation
The randomly generated session name included the word "edger" which is an inappropriate slang term. It caused some mayhem when I posted it as I had misread it as being "edgar" and didn't catch it in time. I recommend removing this word from the generation options to avoid this in the future.

desmos graphing calculator
For the Algebra 1, Geometry & Algebra 2 tests, I would like the Desmos graphing calculator to be available for students for all questions. This is how instruction is in the classroom, as well as what's available for all questions on the state end of year test. Please make this available for the MAP growth tests OR make it an accommodation we can turn on for our students since now even the SAT/ACT/AP exams have this built in as well.

Allow students to Listen to answers without it selecting that choice
I have noticed that younger learners with the Read Aloud option have a hard time understanding that they need to go back and and pick an answer. They either listen to the first choice - see that the button popped up and assume they got it right and move on. OR they listen to all 4 choices - answer in their head - and move on leaving the last answer selected.
If the listen button could be unlinked from the multiple choice answers that would really help us get better data.

Total testing time should be the same for all
My daughter (3rd grade) recently gave me feedback about why she doesn't look forward to these tests and I found it important to consider. When she sees her peers finishing the test before her she gets antsy to finish so she can read, draw, or do something else silently at her desk until all of her classmates are finished. The standardized way a test is administered is as important, if not more important, than the actual test questions and results. My daughter thought she was less knowledgeable and slower than the other students because she was taking longer to finish…
