Student Readiness

DLM provides educators and students with the opportunity to prepare for assessment by using practice activities and released testlets.

• Practice Activities are designed to familiarize users with the way testlets look in the Kite system. One activity is for educators and the other is for students.
• Released testlets are similar to the real DLM testlets in content and format. A released testlet is a publicly available sample DLM assessment. Students and educators can use released testlets as examples or opportunities for practice. Released testlets are developed using the same standards and methods used to develop testlets for the DLM operational assessments. New released testlets are added periodically.
