Teachers and Administrators using the Pre-Post Test Social Studies Program in Exploros have access to a report that shows the score for students and the TEKS-based score.
When a class test ends either by reaching the assigned end time or the individual proctoring the test ending it, the results are calculated. These results appear in the reporting area.
Reporting
From the home screen, click Reports from within a class that administered a Pre or Post Test.
Choose the appropriate Pre-Post Test report
Note that Pre-Post Reports only appear once there is data in them, so if they do not appear it means that no tests have been completed or the data is still be transferred.
The report allows a teacher to look at each student's raw score for the test, and TEKS SE-level score. Since most standards are tested once and most questions are tagged to a single standard, there may be cases where scores are 0% or 100%. However, some items are dual-coded and may have partially correct answers so there may be percentages in between 0-100%. The results are displayed in a heat map-style format.
The report is designed to show both Pre and Post test results, but it also can show growth progress through the year for districts using the full Exploros Social Studies Program.
The data can be exported to a .csv file for import into other district systems.

Growth Targets
We do not set growth targets for districts participating in the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA). However, we support districts by embedding their selected growth target into our Pre- and Post-Test reports. If a district chooses to use one of the commonly accepted models to calculate student growth, we can include those calculations in their reports for clarity and planning. For more information on the current supported growth targets, please reach out in the live chat for more details.
Teaching Recommendations
For districts using the Exploros Social Studies Program in addition to the Social Studies Pre and Post Test Program, teachers can access teaching recommendations. These recommendations indicate which learning experiences address particular TEKS.
A teacher can look at the heat map and scores to see TEKS where individual students or the class needs growth. Clicking on the SE-code provides a list of learning experience that address the standard. A teacher can preview the learning experience directly from within the report.
