Let’s take a closer look at the IXL LevelUp Diagnostic for ELA!
Efficient structure for precise insights
The IXL LevelUp Diagnostic Benchmark for ELA offers a rigorous, point-in-time measurement for evaluating student performance. In 90 minutes or less, you’ll have the relevant data you need to make more effective decisions and provide targeted support.
In addition to Benchmarks, administrators also have access to the IXL LevelUp Diagnostic Snapshot for ELA. It functions as a quick, interim progress check to monitor student growth between Benchmarks. In as little as 15 minutes or less, you’ll receive consistent, comparable data.
The assessment does not need to be completed all at once; educators may break it into smaller sessions to fit classroom schedules and support student stamina.
Assessment data that makes a real impact
The LevelUp Diagnostic goes beyond simply delivering scores—it’s built to drive growth. As soon as students complete their assessments, IXL delivers clear next steps for every level of your district.
For administrators, the LevelUp Diagnostic Results report provides a breakdown of students who are above, on, below, or far below grade level. You can also filter and view performance by student, strand, school, course, teacher, percentile, or student demographics to identify exactly where support is needed.
Plus, the ELA assessment flags students at possible risk of reading difficulties, such as dyslexia, so you can provide timely interventions.
Teachers and students will always know exactly how to move forward post-assessment. Immediately after the test, each student receives a personalized action plan with tailored skill recommendations from IXL’s curriculum.
Real-Time mode: Instructional insights for teachers
The LevelUp Diagnostic is more than a tool for benchmarking and progress monitoring: It also includes an ongoing diagnostic. Teachers can use Real-Time mode to refine students’ levels and personalized action plans in between scheduled Benchmark and Snapshot windows.
With just 10 assessment questions per week, teachers can get just-in-time data and adjust instruction as students grow.
