scale (RIT scale) and how it can be used to measure academic growth over

RIT
Reference Chart for
Mathematics
NWEA tests produce scores that make it possible to monitor student growth from year to
year along developmental curriculum scales or continua. The chart inside shows examples
of the kinds of work students can do at various points along the NWEA RIT scale, assuming
they have been exposed to content. This type of information is helpful in supporting
appropriate instruction.
Please note that each subject-area has a unique alignment to the RIT scale. As a result, scores
between subjects are not equivalent.
How to use the charts:
1. Find the column containing the students score for a particular subject. For example, if
the students score in Number Sense/Number Systems is 188, refer to the column
labeled 181-190.
2. Read down the column to locate a sample test question for a given reporting area, such as
Number Sense/Number Systems. A students score suggests that, currently, they are
likely to get about half of the questions of this difficulty correct.
3. Now look at the questions in the column(s) to the left. The student is likely to get most of
these correct, assuming he or she has been instructed in these skills and concepts.
4. The questions in the column(s) to the right will probably require new learning on the
students part.
RIT Scale
We use the RIT scale to measure a students academic growth over time. Like units on a
ruler, the scale is divided into equal intervals called Rasch Units (RIT) and is
independent of grade level.
