WHAT DOES THE RIT SCORES MEAN?

RIT (Rauch Unit) is a score from 150 to 300


Tells the students’ instructional level: skills/concepts
they are only getting 50% correct on
Based on the students grade level and time of
year, you can determine the following:
Where students stand in comparison to other
students in their grade level based on national norms
(Percentile Score)
 What the expect growth (RIT Points) for the student?

WHAT IS A PERCENTILE SCORE?
Based on the current norm sample – 2011
 Where your score would fall on a continuum
from 1-100 in comparison to the norm group
testing at the same time during the year:

range, percentile and the time it took from them to test)
 Achievement Status Report (gives you their overall RIT,
growth target, standard error and achieved growth)
 Class Breakdown Report by Goal (gives you a picture of
your class by goal area in bands of 10 RIT points and
links to instructional skills in Learning Continuum)
