How I understand STAR is that a student takes a 25 question
test and it will get harder or easier based on their
responses (Correct or incorrect). It does need a grade
assigned to a student to function properly. At the end of
the test, they tell you how your student is doing compared to
millions of other students in that grade level. Then gives
you some scores that you can use for AR reading levels as a
suggested book level system.
