Gating Rules
There are two ways that gating rules work:
•
By discontinuing benchmark assessment for low-
performing students.
•
By “testing out” high performing students.
9
Discontinue Rules
Each subtest has a discontinue rule called the "discontinue measure rule" that
triggers if a student gives zero correct answers within the first few responses of
the assessment (the threshold varies by measure). When the discontinue rule
is triggered, a popup prompts you stop assessing the measure.
10
Test-Out
Some measures have a test-out
rule that triggers when a student
scores above the benchmark cut-
score, and any other required
measures are "tested-out".
The student in this example is a
Grade 2 student who has
triggered the test-out rule for ORF.
The NWF and WRF measures
display Tested-Out icons:
