Do I have to grade the Assessment Series or the Free Reading Assessment?

You do not have to grade anything for Assessment Series tests or the Free Reading Assessment. There are no short-answer responses to grade, so scoring is done automatically. As soon as your students submit their tests, you will be able to access data for the assessment.

You will not immediately see your students' Percentile Rankings. This is because we recalculate percentile scores nightly to account for that day's submissions. Furthermore, we also only calculate and display percentiles once we have collected a sufficient amount of valid data for your students (meaning enough CommonLit students in the same grade also took the same test). You will receive a message in your Notifications once this comparative data is available for you to view.

Please note that students do not see their assessment after it is submitted, and CommonLit does not share their scores with them.
