Below Expectation
I find this confusing and there is not much information on the website about whether to leave the ADAM assessment at default grade level or to adjust it. I have a 6th grader who in struggling with some maths sub-topics, such as fractions, and has some "maths anxiety," so am wondering whether to adjust to 4th grade starting level for the assessment, but it is not clear if this would be a good idea or a bad idea from the above information.

LGL Response:  ADAM is adaptive so you really don't have to adjust it.  It will automatically adjust to any student who may have a few gaps in fractions or other areas of mathematics.  If you suspect that the student has gaps in 50% or more areas of his or her math skills then you could reduce the start point by a grade or two.  But the start adjustment point was really designed for cases where students have very large gaps in skills.  i.e. an 8th grader who is operating at a 3rd grade math level.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
