Create Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test Reports

Field	Selections	Description
GRADE/LEVEL	Relevant selections = level 1 or 2	Word decoding typically corresponds to grades 1 and 2 but may be tested off-level (as K, level 1, for example, or 3, level 2).
Students Coded in Office Use	● Included ● Excluded	Refers to the "Office Use Only" section of a student answer document. Identifies students whose test scores should be included or excluded from group averages.
REGION/SYSTEM/DISTRICT/ BUILDING/CLASS	● All (default) ● Specific location	Determines the population scope of your report. The field name depends on your setup and permissions (for example, BUILDING if you are a Building or School Administrator). If you select a specific location, a new sublevel field opens below. This continues for all available locations (down to the level of CLASS).
POPULATION FILTERS	3 categories, 1 selection allowed for each.	Narrows results by gender, ethnicity, or program (such as IEP or Gifted)

Data Package: Online Testing or DataPlus

Role: Account Holder, Super Admin, Administrator, Teacher, or Digital Resource & Reporting Access

You can specify criteria and run reports on the Create a Report page.

Report options and availability vary according to the following:

● Your role and location. You can create and view reports only for your own location level and those below you.

● The tests that have been administered to students, entered in the database, and marked as completed.

● The options you select as you move down the list of criteria. As you select options, subsequent fields with dependencies on those options may change. (Common fields that produce these changes include REPORT TYPE, LEVEL OF ANALYSIS, and DISPLAY OPTIONS.) When this happens, the page reloads to display new or adjusted fields.

Note: If you are transitioning from Interactive Results Manager (IRM) to DataManager (DM), some menu labels and report names have changed.

See the changes.

2. In the ASSESSMENT list, select the test your students took. If there is more than one option, select the one for which you want to run a report.

3. From the TEST ADMIN DATE list, select your test event if different from the default. Test events are indicated by their date and name. They are sorted by date, most recent first.

4. In the REPORT TYPE list, select the report you want to produce. Short descriptions for each report are provided below, along with links (More...) to fuller descriptions with samples. Click the Instructions link (on the line below More...) to view field-level descriptions and instructions for entering selections in the remaining fields of each report.

Note: Reports and fields are listed here in the same order as they appear on your DataManager platform.

Student Roster – provides scores by test and composite or skill domain for each student in the selected group.

Multimeasure Student Roster – allows you to create up to ten columns across multiple test administrations, test types, grades, and levels for each student in a selected group. This report also provides a PERFORMANCE BANDS option, which allows you to specify performance indicator labels and values that color code the test results for each student.

Student Profile – provides one of several types of data output for each student's scores in a selected group.

Student Label- provides printable student labels containing student and test information, including scores based on vocabulary and comprehension tests.

Creates labels for printing and attaching to student files. The header information includes the student's name and ID, age, class, test level and date, and normative year. The body of the label includes the test results that you select when you run the report.

The report output can be printed on Avery labels (available at most online and brick-and-mortar office supply stores).

Note: Data in this sample are for illustrative purposes only.
