How should I administer the Assessment Series?

This article is intended only for customers and partners using the Assessment Series.

The CommonLit Assessment Series is designed to measure students’ performance on end-of-grade-level reading comprehension expectations. For test validity purposes, it is best for students to complete their assessment in one sitting, within 60 minutes, and with minimal distractions.

Students should not receive any outside help or support from teachers, parents, tutors, peers, or other sources.
