Overview Screen
The resulting screen will display Level Keys, a Date Filter, Language Summary Charts, and either a Test Instances list or a list of class/testing groups that you can select to drill into to access the Test Instances list.
If you are using a district/organization or school/sub-organization viewing code, use the School/Location List to drill down to the desired class/testing group. To request a school/district login, contact Avant Support.
Date Filter
By default, the Date Filter shows test results from the last 6 months.
To select a different timeframe, type the date or click on the calendar. Then, click APPLY. There are also presets that can be selected to show the Last 3 Months, Last 6 Months, and Last Year of testing. The Date Filter can also be modified to search by Start Date or Recent Activity.
Monitor Test Progress
Testing Coordinators can use the STAMP reports to:
- Look up how the test taker’s Login Name was entered.
- Track test takers’ progress.
Test Score and Status Key
Benchmark Levels are grouped by major levels (Novice, Intermediate and Advanced). Within each major level are three sub-levels (low, mid, high) that are aligned with the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines as shown below.
Statuses
The test taker has not started this section of the test. If all sections are marked NS the test taker has completed only the Profile.
The test taker has started, but not completed, this section of the test. For the Writing and Speaking sections, click the IP to see how many responses have been submitted.
This section of the test is complete, but the rating is not complete for one or more responses. Click the SP to see how many responses have been rated.
Writing, Speaking, or Expressive sections will have the status NR (Not Ratable) if a rater is not able to rate any of the responses in the section. See possible reasons for NR (Not Ratable) status.
The purpose of the Zero Score (0) is simply to act as a flag that a potential violation of Test Taker Rules has been identified in the response. See possible reasons for a Zero Score (0)
Review Test Results
Reading and Listening Section Scores
Reading and Listening scores are available as soon as test takers complete those sections (refresh the page for updates).
Scaled Scores
For the Reading and Listening sections of the test, you may also see a Scaled Score to the right of the level. These can be used to track test taker progress within the levels. For more information on Scaled Scores see our Scaled Scores Guide.
Writing and Speaking Section Scores
Writing and Speaking scores are typically available from 7 to 10 business days after test completion. Scores may be available sooner, so check the test results screen periodically to determine the rating progress. Click on any score to see additional details or to access Writing and Speaking responses. During busy testing times (March-June), scoring may take longer. Please plan accordingly.
What Does The Minus Sign Mean?
A minus sign after the score for a Writing or Speaking section notates that, of the three necessary ratable responses, the test taker only submitted one. This is an alert that limited evidence was available to establish the score.
Accessing Writing and Speaking Responses
You’re able to see the written responses and listen to recorded audio responses that test takers submit. For the Writing and Speaking sections, click on the section score to bring up the section details. Click on Response 1, Response 2 or Response 3 to access the test taker’s actual response for each specific task. This can also be helpful for understanding why responses were scored Zero or Not Ratable.
High (H) and Low (L) Indicators for Individual Responses
High (H) and Low (L) indicators for individual responses are included in the sidebar of the report. This assists testing coordinators and teachers in better understanding the range of responses that can occur in each sub-level for an individual test taker. These indicators serve a similar purpose as the Scaled Scores for Reading and Listening and can be used for research and review purposes.
Composite Score
Composite Scores are available when all sections have been completed, scored, and rated. Composite Score represents a test taker’s scores added together and divided by the total number of sections assessed.
Testing Group Averages
The number in the graph for a specific skill represents all test taker scores divided by the number of test takers with a score for the specific skill. The number in the graph for the Composite Score represents all test takers’ Composite Scores added together and divided by the total number of test takers.
Distribution of Test Takers Across Levels
The bar graphs show what percentage of test takers are scoring at each specific level for each skill of the test: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
Individual Reports
Access and download Individual Reports for test takers. For best results, wait until all testing and rating is complete.
How to access Individual Reports for one or all test takers
Create Individual Report for a specific test taker:
- Click on the Report icon
to access the Individual Report for a test taker. - Click on the Printer icon
to print out the Individual Report. You will see a printer dialog box within your browser.
- You can create a PDF version of the report if your printer selection includes a PDF writer.
- You can print out an Individual Report on one page by clicking “More Settings” and adjusting the Scale.

Individual Report Examples
Individual Reports include the following sections and information (based on the chosen combination):
- Reading Section score (generated by Avant)
- Writing Section score (rated by Avant)
- Listening Section score (generated by Avant)
- Speaking Section score (rated by Avant)
- Composite Score
- Level Descriptions
- Suggestions to ‘Power Up’ to the next level
Each test taker’s report has a scoring graphic for each section of the test. It can be an inverted pyramid that has a filled area depicting the level attained, or just a score generated by Avant for self-evaluated Reading and Listening Sections.
Reading and Listening sections will show a scoring graphic once a test taker completes each section.
Writing and Speaking sections will show a scoring graphic once the rating is completed by Avant.
For the Writing and Speaking sections of the test, an additional shaded area will appear if the test taker has one response that is rated at a higher level. This serves as an alert that the test taker is operating across a range of proficiency levels with this skill. This situation is quite common for test takers in the Novice and Intermediate ranges, mostly due to limited topic exposure and control.
Level Description field (the text to the right of scores) provides explanation of what test takers at each level are generally able to do.
Suggestions field provides Power Up suggestions to help test takers attain higher levels (see Avant Power Up Guide for more information).
If desired, the Individual Report can be distributed to test takers or parents, along with the Avant STAMP Benchmark & Rubric Guide
