What is the MetaMetrics Scoring Service REST API and how is it used?
The MetaMetrics Scoring Service REST API has been designed to simplify assigning an ability estimate to a test-taker. As students take assessments, test results can be sent to the Scoring Service API, providing real-time estimates of student ability.
What is the Forecasting REST API and how is it used?
The Forecasting API forecasts an individual student or group performance on an upcoming assessment. To accomplish this, the API uses a proprietary growth model, prior information about a student or group of students, and information about an examination to be taken in the future.
What is the MetaMetrics State Performance Standards Database and how is it used?
The State Performance Standards Database is a data file that aligns Lexile and Quantile measures with state proficiency standards for those states whose assessments are linked with the Lexile and or Quantile Frameworks and decide to use the database.
