Appraisals

Order Appraisals Now button

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.
