Statistical data is collected on test items to confirm the validity and reliability of the measurement. Parameters on difficulty, discrimination, and guessing inform student developmental level scores that districts can use to predict performance on state-wide tests and to inform intervention efforts in the classroom to improve that performance.
Items
in ATI’s Galileo K-12 Online item banks are linked to Depth of Knowledge and
item specification documents. Texts used in the item banks are aligned to
Lexile® Measures and Flesch-Kincaid readability scores. The items are evaluated
relative to released items from national consortia and state-wide testing
instruments to ensure comparability. Additionally, ATI offers item types and
content beyond what is offered in state testing instruments to afford districts
diverse and customizable measures of instruction and learning.
