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 to inform instruction around their student’s strengths and weaknesses. Targeted instruction leads to better performance and maximum growth.
