Student Test Invalidations

An invalidation occurs when the testing system nullifies a test event, or when the District MAP Coordinator tells the system to ignore a test event.

An invalidation that occurs automatically by the system can be caused for a variety of reasons.  A summary of system invalidations can be found here.

A score invalidated by the system will appear "greyed out" in the online reports.

How to Manually Invalidate a Student Test Score

A manual invalidation can only be performed at the district level.  In all cases, the request must come through the building principal to the District MAP Coordinator .  The request needs to include enough information (student name, test name, test date or RIT score) so that the test even can be located in the system.  The invalidation is immediate after the score has been invalidated at the district level.

All manual invalidation requests will be documented by the Assessment Department.  Information documented will included name of staff requesting invalidation, approving principal, and date of invalidation.
