Sample Questions
When is the ILEARN assessment held?
The ILEARN Biology ECA is held in the spring for students at Options Indiana, ILEARN 3-8 is held each spring.
What is the test design for ILEARN?
Each online ILEARN assessment consists of a computer-adaptive test segment and a performance task, and fixed-form test segments for social studies and U.S. Government. Fixed-form tests are not adaptive and available only as an accommodation for students with formal accommodations.
ILEARN measures the breadth of Indiana Academic Standards. This means that all standards are represented in the test blueprints, including content area literacy, media literacy, listening, and computer science standards and the item specifications. Indiana educator committees collaborated with content experts to create the ILEARN test blueprints and item specifications.
