- Summary AIMS data is almost always presented as % mastery (that is, the number of students in
Meets&Exceeds divided by number of students tested). Data presented at the
student level is usually also presented as percentages, but this is percent
correct within a competency/standard. Note that the power standard/WIPS
page also uses percent correct data, not percent mastery data. (No mastery
standards exist for competency/standard level data).
- The level below the "top" level is the competency level for
Reading, the trait level for Writing and the standard level for Math.
- A consistent & (hopefully!) easily understandable method of number &
color coding is being used to represent the four AIMS performance levels.
This method is (which is used locally, not by the state or testing company):
- 4 = Exceeds = Blue
- 3 = Meets = Green
- 2 = Approaches = Yellow
- 1 = Below (aka Falls Far Below) = Red
- For the by-student data, there is almost always a choice of display options: color, numeric, or level.
- The criteria for each of the categories are available at /planning/resources/aims/cutscores.asp.
The number of items in each competency/standard is available at /planning/resources/aims/comppoint_front.asp.
- On the by class team AIMS pages, the user is forced to pick a test grade level. On the non-team class pages, this is an option that is highly encouraged for mixed-grade-level-classes. Note that competency scores which do not match the headings printed will be suppressed.
