What is the reading level in the Real-Time Diagnostic? (2024)

FAQs

What do IXL real-time diagnostic levels mean? ›

IXL Diagnostic scores are scaled such that scores correspond to grade levels. For example, a score of 350 indicates that the student has acquired about 50% of third-grade material, whereas a score of 400 indicates that the student is ready to learn fourth-grade material. Reliability and validity.

Grade level guide: 100 = 1st grade, 200 = 2nd grade, 300 = 3rd grade, 400 - 4th grade, 500 = 5th grade, 600 = 6th grade, 700 = 7th grade, 800 = 8th grade, and 900 = 9th grade. By clicking on the IXL image above or the word IXL, students will be forwarded to the log in page.

For example, a score of 350 indicates that a student understands about 50% of 3rd-grade material and a score of 400 indicates readiness to begin working on 4th-grade skills. These levels range from 0-1300, with 0-50 representing pre-K, 50-100 kindergarten, and 1300 representing the end of 12th grade.

So a level of 400 represents a readiness to start working on 4th-grade skills, and a level of 450 means the student is about halfway through the 4th-grade curriculum. The two exceptions to this are preschool and kindergarten, which are represented by diagnostic levels of 0-50 and 50-100, respectively.

IXL's diagnostic scores correspond to grade levels for easy interpretation. For example, a score of 500 equals beginning level 5th grade, and a 550 equals 50% mastery of 5th grade standards.

As always, a diagnostic level indicates a student's working grade level—for example, a level of 800 indicates readiness to work on eighth grade level skills. When the numbers appear as a range, this means that the Diagnostic is still narrowing down the student's exact learning level.

Predicts success. Validity research shows that IXL's Diagnostic is an accurate measure of student achievement and a strong predictor of performance on standardized assessments including NWEA MAP, Star, FAST/B.E.S.T., PSSA, and over a dozen other state assessments.

An IXL Diagnostic level of 500 represents readiness to begin working on fifth-grade level skills.

In addition to revealing specific strand levels and overall math and language arts levels, the Real-Time Diagnostic also measures the student's reading level.

The Real-Time Diagnostic is always available; students can enter the Diagnostic at any time and answer as many questions as they like. When students first use the Diagnostic, we recommend they aim to diagnose until their complete diagnostic data is revealed—for most students, this will be around 45 minutes per subject.
