    Summary: STAR360 teaches students to skim, not read. It focuses on the lower levels of Bloom's taxonomy, creates test anxiety, and does not prepare students for a future of testing. It is a BAD assessment but the marketing - well, the marketing is just fabulous.

    Positive: Their marketing department does a great job of selling this product as an easy solve to school district to screen students.

    Negative: The STAR360 purports to provide screening and growth metrics for readers. However, the test provides NO authentic text, limits students to respond to each item within 120 seconds, does not allow the ability to review work, and also contains pre-Common Core questions stems that ask questions for basic definitions instead of critical thinking, analysis, and application. For example, students are asked to choose the definition for "foreshadowing," "conflict," etc... NO other test students will take - Illinois Assessment of Readiness, ACT, SAT, EXPLORE, PSAT, etc... ask these types of questions. ALL of these nationally normed tests DO provide authentic text and a window of time to complete their work and to review their work.
