Teachers need information about the relative strengths and weaknesses of their students and classes so that they can select the most appropriate instructional techniques and educational materials, as well as communicate important information to parents. Likewise, students need to understand their own strengths and weaknesses so that they can target skills that may need additional development outside of the classroom. Administrators also benefit from an effective assessment program because achievement and ability data can help identify where they can best support teachers as they help students learn and where professional development resources may be needed. Now that you have finished testing, carefully review each topic on the next several pages to ensure your scoring order is processed quickly and accurately. Selecting Your Primary Reporting Plan The first step in ordering your score reports is selecting a primary reporting plan. All customers that have their tests scored at Riverside Scoring Service must select a primary reporting plan, which covers processing and scoring of answer documents and provides an initial set of reports for you to review your assessment results. You have two options for your primary reporting plan: Basic Data Package or DataPlus Package. Pricing is tiered within these service packages, based upon the assessment type (Iowa Assessments™ or CogAT) and the levels: [https://riversideinsights.com/solutions/](https://riversideinsights.com/solutions/)[ ](https://riversideinsights.com/solutions/)group-assessments-scoring-reporting-services.

FAQs

What are the two primary reporting plan options when ordering score reports?

Customers must choose either the Basic Data Package or the DataPlus Package. The Basic Data Package emphasizes paper reporting, while DataPlus provides web-based reporting with faster turnaround and richer downloadable formats.

What does the Basic Data Package include?

It includes processing and scoring of answer documents plus one paper copy of the List of Student Scores with Class, Building, and System Summaries. It is available for Iowa Assessments Forms E, F & G, CogAT Forms 7 & 8, and combined reporting.

How should districts handle scoring when using multiple test administration modes?

If paper answer documents are shipped for central scanning/scoring in addition to local scanning and/or online testing, the OSS must still specify whether Riverside will process the paper portion using either the Basic Data Package or DataPlus. Additional OSS information is required to merge paper and online results for upper grades.
