Longitudinal Data

Two options exist when working with longitudinal data: Longitudinal Analysis and Longitudinal Analysis, Looking Back. Use the Longitudinal Analysis option when selecting a test in the past. Use the Longitudinal Analysis, Looking Back option when viewing the most current test.

• Once a test is selected, click the Edit button
• On the Tests Tab, add a test from a previous year by dragging the test to the right
• In the drop-down list, place a check mark next to the option Summarize Selected Tests For Longitudinal Analysis
• Select the Where They Were icon to view the campuses that the students were on when they took the test
• Click Update
• Performance results will be displayed showing, for example, how third grade has performed over time

Note: To view students for the current year, select a current test and choose Summarize Selected Tests For Longitudinal Analysis, Looking Back.
