Customer FAQs on Machine Scorable DOB Updates

This FAQ addresses common customer concerns regarding the DOB field updates and provides clear, detailed answers.

  1. Why aren’t all products included in this update?
    1. GMRT and IAAT already accommodate DOB through a two-digit birth year format.
    2. Iowa Form F is no longer provided in paper-pencil format, except for TEA’s hand-scored reclassification program.
  2. Will online testing be affected?
    1. No. Online platforms already accept DOB entries for 2020 and later. There will be no disruptions.
  3. Why are materials shipping before scoring updates are complete?
    1. Early shipment allows customers to prepare for the 2025-2026 school year.
    2. Scanning updates will be ready before most customers send materials for scoring.
  4. I have old materials that I purchased before February 2025. Is there any way to get those materials replaced with the updated DOB fields?
    1. Yes! Please reach out to your Riverside Insights representative, and they will replace those materials for you at no cost.
  5. If my Riverside insights representative replaces my materials, do I still need to buy scoring?
    1. Yes. Scoring and answer documents are bundled into one package.
  6. If I buy new answer documents, do I need to buy scoring?
    1. Yes. Scoring and answer documents are bundled into one package.
