9.5. Determining Test Validity

There is a report in Viewpoint called MAP Validity (located under Assessment Reports)  that can be used to determine whether a specific test even was valid for an individual student.   This report will show data for three variables - test standard error, test duration, and percent of questions answered correctly - for each student in the report.  When analysis reveals one or more of these variables to be an outlier, this provides evidence that the test session for that student was not necessarily valid.

To run the report:

  1. Log into Viewpoint
  2. Select a class, grade, or group of students.
  3. Under the Assessment Reports section, click on MAP Validity.
  4. Pick the term and category (subject area)
  5. Generate the report
