Why do I see both a Diagnostic and a paid Assessment Series partial?

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

CommonLit's free Diagnostic has replaced the free Pre-Assessment for non-partners. However, it is no longer paired with a free Post-Assessment. The Post-Assessment is now part of the paid Assessment Series package, along with the Pre-Assessment. The items in these tests are validated to provide growth data.

If you scheduled a free Diagnostic and some or all of your students took the test, and then your school purchased our paid Assessment Series, we scheduled the Assessment Series Pre-Assessment for you, and we retained your Diagnostic and kept all of its data on your account. For this reason, you will see both a Diagnostic partial and your new Assessment Series Pre-Assessment partial for any affected classes on your account. To view a class's Diagnostic data from your Assignments page, click on "Completed" under Assignment Status on the left. 

Please note: The free Diagnostic is not paired with a free Post-Assessment, so it cannot provide growth data. Thus, your students will still need to take the Pre-Assessment, even if they're already completed the Diagnostic, in order to ensure you are set up for validated growth data compared to the Post-Assessment.
