Rapid Guessing Invalidation

​After receiving feedback from you and discussion with NWEA, NWEA has decided that Winter tests with 30% or more rapid guessing will no longer be invalidated. NWEA will reinstate this invalidation at a future date as they explore opportunities to make this easier for you to use this information.You will, however, still be able to see which students rapid-guessed. You can find out more about student testing engagement and rapid-guessing here.
