Exact Path Diagnostic and New Hampshire SAS Correlational Study

This research study correlated scores on Exact Path diagnostic assessments across testing windows (Fall, Winter, and Spring) with Spring 2021-2023 New Hampshire SAS test scores. Strong correlations were found between Exact Path diagnostic assessment scores and NH SAS assessment scores across all grades 3-8, subjects, and seasons. High correlations were also found between spring Grade 2 Exact Path diagnostic scores in reading and mathematics and NH SAS Grade 3 scores. These results support use of Exact Path as an early indicator of student achievement in mathematics and reading, and a strong predictor of success on NH SAS assessments.

In preparation for New Hampshire SAS assessments, educators can use Exact Path diagnostic results to:

• Identify students who need additional support
• Prioritize content areas to focus on
• Inform data-driven instruction and targeted intervention
• Help ensure that students are on track to meet academic standards
