Testing Your Child at Home (Guideline for Parents)/ Guía para asesorar a su hijo en su hogar
  
Answer

DORA, ADAM, and DOMA are diagnostic computer adaptive tests.  As students answer questions correctly, the test will get harder, as they are making mistakes, the questions will get easier.

It is important NOT to help your child because they will not get the lessons assigned that they need. We need to know what they do not know in order to assign the correct lessons.

Ways that you CAN help your child:

  • Make sure the testing environment is relatively quiet
  • Be sure you child has headphones if the environment is not quiet enough
  • Best practice is to break the test into shorter sessions (20-30 minute intervals work well)
    • Click the stop button to stop. Re-log in to resume testing.
  • Have scatch paper and pencil for the math testing
  • Encourage your child to do their best
  • If they don't know an answer they should answer with their best guess 
    • For math, if they don't know how to approach a problem in about a minute, they should guess or click the "I don't know button" if it appears

 

For ADAM: Total assessment time is as follows: Grades K and 1: 10 to 20 min.; Grades 2 to 3: 30 to 45 min; Grade 4 to5: 60 to 75 min.; Grade 6 to 7: 80 to 120 mins. Plan to break the assessment into multiple 1/2 to 1 hour sessions to reduce student fatigue.

For DORA: Total assessment time is as follows: Grades K and 1: 10-20 min, Grades 2 to 12: 30 to 60 minutes (occasionally longer for older students)

For Spanish-speaking parents- Para los padres hispanohablantes:

DORA, ADAM y DOMA son exámenes diagnósticos adaptivos en computadora.  Cuando los estudiantes contesten las preguntas correctamente, el examen les hará preguntas más difíciles.  Al cometer errores, el examen les hará preguntas más fáciles.

Es importante que usted NO ayude a su hijo porque no recibirá las lecciones asignadas que necesite.  Tenemos que saber lo que no sabe para poderle asignar las lecciones correctas.

Maneras de ayudarle a su hijo:

  • Asegúrese de que el ambiente de prueba sea uno relativamente tranquilo
  • Asegúrese de que su hijo tenga audífonos si el ambiente no es uno suficientemente tranquilo
  • Una buena práctica es dividir los exámenes en sesiones cortas (intervalos de 20 a 30 minutos funcionan bien)
    • Oprime el botón que dice “stop” o “para” para detenerse. Inicie sesión de nuevo para continuar
  • Provéele papel y lápiz para el examen de matemáticas
  • Anime a su hijo a trabajar lo mejor que pueda
  • Si no sabe la respuesta, debe adivinarla como mejor pueda
    • Para los exámenes de matemáticas, si no saben la respuesta dentro de un minuto, debe adivinar o hacerle clic al botón que dice “I don’t know” o “no se” si éste aparece en la pantalla

 

El tiempo total de ADAM es el siguiente: Grados K y 1: 10 a 20 minutos, Grados 2 y 3: 30 a 45 minutos, Grados 4 y 5: 60 a 75 minutos, Grados 6 y 7: 80 a 120 minutos.  Asegúrese de dividir el examen en sesiones cortas (20 a 30 minutos) para minimizar el agotamiento del estudiante.

El tiempo total de DORA es el siguiente: Grados K y 1: 10 a 20 minutos, Grados 2 a 12:  30 a 60 minutos (ocasionalmente será más largo para los estudiantes mayores)

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.
