How is average time between tests calculated?
In the District, School and Class reports, average values are presented as a summary for the grouping selected.
Here is how the BrightFish system calculates average time between tests:
- Only students with results are used in the average.
- Students belonging to multiple classes are counted only once.
- Time on task between tests is calculated from the time that students worked on completed story activities between pre-mid and pre-post tests.
Classroom Example
Students in your class worked for an average of 8 hours of time on task between the pre-test and the midyear test.
That value will be shown after the midyear test is completed.
The average time between tests will not change until students complete the post-test.
After the post-test is finished, the average time value wll be updated.
Time on task will be calculated from completed activities between the pre-test and the post-test.
Classroom Time Values:
January 2021 (Midyear Test Administration) – Average time on task between pre- and midyear tests: 08:15
April 2021 (Post-test Administration) – Average time on task between pre- and post tests: 15:25
