What is TestWiz? 

TestWiz is an easy-to-use, low-cost reporting tool. It is designed to assist educators like you who analyze student performance on tests. TestWiz for Michigan has been customized for the MEAP and ELPA tests.

TestWiz Classic is a windows-based application for school systems that prefer to limit direct access to the data to one or two people. With TestWiz:Michigan, your local personnel import test results and manage the database.

TestWiz.Net is the web-based version of TestWiz, also customized for the MEAP and ELPA. It allows for anyone with permission and with Internet access to view the district's test results. Highlights:

• Test data is uploaded to a secure Web server managed by dataMetrics.
• You can assign permission to view student level data down to the teacher level. 
• No need for your IT department to install new versions of software, or import test data. All software and uploading of data is done on your behalf by dataMetrics.

For an overview and screen shots of TestWiz.Net, take a look at our Quick Tour document. 

What can TestWiz do beyond the MEAP reports we get from the state? 

The state reports are static. TestWiz gives you a way to interact with the data. You can:

• Track students and school performance over time.
• Zero in on students who did poorly, or well, or students that fit a particular demographic as defined on the MEAP tests.
• Use Comparison Groups to generate reports comparing results for different sub-groups of students.
• Link to the actual released items on item analysis reports. 

What type of support is available?   

There are online Help screens and a printable manual. A toll-free helpline is available from 8:30 to 5:00 (EST) weekdays. E-mail questions are answered within 24 hours.

What about training? 

It should be easy to get started with the TestWiz:Michigan software, but in order to learn about its many features and to help districts make the best use of the MEAP data, there are several trainers in Michigan who provide onsite and group training.
