Overall Performance

The threshold categories correspond to those defined on the teacher's account (Silver/Gold subscribers can adjust thresholds in their account settings)
Click on the 'i' icon next to a threshold category to view a list of students who scored within this threshold and their individual performance:
New! Create Student Groups (Beta)
You can use the Overall Performance and the Thresholds breakdown to create student groups within your class. Once set, you will be able to assign any formative to one or more of these groups without having to select individual students. Click here to learn more about this new Beta feature!
