ILEARN Checkpoints for Students in 3rd through 8th Grade

Starting this school year students in grades 3 -8 will participate in ILEARN Checkpoint Pilot with the Indiana Department of Education. ILEARN is Indiana’s standardized test. It is an online computer adaptive assessment designed to measure students’ proficiency of the Indiana Academic Standards in English/Language Arts and Math. While students have taken the ILEARN Assessment since the 2018-1019 school year, the checkpoint pilot gives students opportunities throughout the year. 70% of Indiana schools are piloting the ILEARN checkpoint assessments, and all Indiana schools are required to participate in the 2025-2026 school year.

What is a computer-adaptive assessment?

ILEARN is a computer-adaptive assessment, which adapts to each student’s mastery of content through the test. This means that when a student answers a question, his or her response helps determine the next question. The difficulty of the test will adjust to each student’s skills and provide a better measure of what each student knows and can do.
