What is the i-Ready Diagnostic?- https://i-readycentral.com/view-resource/?id=42513

The Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that identifies students’ strengths and opportunities for growth. That information helps determine how to best support their learning.

How can I access my student’s results?

1. ­­­Log in to your student’s i-Ready Dashboard using their district or school’s portal credentials and then click on the
   i-Ready icon. If your district does not use a portal, visit i-ReadyConnect.com and log in using the credentials provided by their teacher(s).

2. Click on the For Fami­lies dropdown and select the For Families report.

3. Enter your District’s Report Code CXNG5Q.
