Basic assessment takes 10-15 minutes. Benchmark focused. Tests do adapt to students to give them out-of-grade level items like DORA/DOMA. The focus on benchmarks, however, keeps these tests in the category of accountability rather than diagnostic. Company incorrectly advertises these assessments as diagnostic assessments. Doesn't tell you why students miss benchmarks other than saying they missed them therefore teach them those benchmarks. This fools the uninformed administrators who may not have a thorough understanding of the definition of diagnostic assessment and its advantages.
