Appraisals provide a quick, general indicator of reading, math, or listening abilities.
Appraisal scores can help to determine
- Program eligibility
- The best program for a student
- A student's level within the program
Appraisal scores also determine which pretest to administer for progress testing (pre- and post). Appraisals may never be used as a pre- and post-test to measure progress.
