i-Ready has two products, i-Ready diagnostic and i-Ready learning. The diagnostic is solely used for adaptive testing. The learning software is used for classwork, homework, and lessons. The learning software is what this is about. Lots of schools just use the diagnostic tests.

If the learning software isn't actually adaptive, is the testing software?
That is how the teachers described it to us (the testing software being adaptive). As far as I know, we only use the diagnostic software. I wasn't aware of the existence of a learning version of this software.
My child's school is the same, they use the diagnostic software. My question was more toward wondering if the diagnostic is as anemic as the learning version in terms of being adaptive.
