For the mid-year and end-of-year administrations of the i-Ready diagnostic, the test must be manually assigned via the i-Ready admin site. The beginning-of-year diagnostic is served up automatically without manual intervention. 


Process:

  1. Log into the i-Ready admin site
  2. From the top navigation menu, select Assess & Teach --> Assessment --> Select Reading under Diagnostic & Standards Mastery
  3. From the Diagnostic & Standards Mastery page, select Assign New
  4. If assigning to an entire school, select Schools to Assign Reading Diagnostic to:, then select the green right-arrow button
    • If assigning to a particular grade at a particular school, select Students, then select School from drop-down, check off all grades that apply from drop down, click green arrow and confirm selection, then click Assign Reading Diagnostic.
  5. Either select all schools if there are no schools testing outside of the Alliance window (deselect Obsolete and Obsolete 2) or select the particular school(s) you are assigning the diagnostic to outside of the window, then select the green right-arrow button
  6. Select the green Assign Reading Diagnostic button
  7. After assigning the Reading diagnostic, you'll have to assign the math diagnostic, so back on the Diagnostics & Standards Mastery page, select Math from the Subject dropdown, then select Assign New
