Aligning with Naviance

January Practice Test B ELA Survey 1.  My ELA academic goal for this year is:

2.  I am satisfied with my score: yes or no

3.  Compare your score for Practice Test B with the score you received for Practice Test A. Did your score increase or decrease? If so, by how many percentage points? Why do you think it changed?

13

Alignment with Naviance, cont. 4. My score for this assessment is:

Green 80-100% Yellow 65% - 79%

Orange 50 – 64% Red 0% - 49% 5. I scored the highest on these three indicators: 6. What area/s do I need to improve in order to increase my score? 7 What strategies will I use to improve my academic performance? How can I use what I learned about my learning style and my strengths to improve my performance?
