Only those assessments designated for testing purposes by the school district should be administered during the district-specified Benchmark testing window. District assessments are set up by your Head Administrator.
Nationally representative Benchmark norms are calculated using six-week windows of time:
Fall |
Winter |
Spring |
September 1–October 15 |
January 1–February 15 |
May 1–June 15 |
Districts set their own specific Benchmark testing windows. We recommend making the testing window as short as reasonably possible so all Benchmark scores within the district are gathered at approximately the same time each season. A variety of Benchmark assessments are available.
