What is an AbilityScore?Since ISIP is adaptive and the test items are displayed based on student performance, not age or grade, identical ability scores across grades mean the same thing.

Ability scores can be used by teachers toinform instruction around their student’s strengths and weaknesses. Targetedinstruction leads to better performanceand maximum growth.
