How can Formative be used for test prep to drive student growth?

• This study of 381 6th and 7th-grade students compared those who used Formative regularly throughout the school year to control classrooms not using the platform.
• Teachers using Formative reported that their students were more prepared for their year-end assessment than control group students. Teachers emphasized how effective Formative was at helping students practice navigating and completing online assessments.
• This study meets ESSA criteria for Moderate/Tier II efficacy evidence.
  

Does Formative use affect ELA achievement?

• When compared to control group students, students using Formative saw a ~75% boost to their ELA achievement, which is equivalent to an additional 6.75 months of instruction.

Does Formative use affect Math achievement?

• Completing more digital assessments in Formative was associated with greater math achievement at the end of the year. The average student in this study completed 30 digital assessments, equivalent to a 10 point increase in spring i-Ready math percentile.
