Reassessments: Reassigning Placement Tests

There could be multiple reasons why you may feel a student's placement within the program is inaccurate:

• The student has not worked on MathFactLab for a while, such as over a summer or a long vacation.
• The student, for one reason or another, was not able to his/her best on the placement test.
• The student has received a significant amount of math fact instruction recently.

In any case, if you feel you have a student or students who are not accurately placed within the program, you have two options:

• Manually change their level to the one you consider most appropriate.
  • This can be done by clicking on the edit icon on the student's line.
• Reassess the student.
  • This will give the student the placement test again as if they were a new student.
