The Student responses report compares a student's Growth Diagnostic (Post) and Baseline Diagnostic (Pre) data and shows a student's percentage score and the number of skills for which that student is proficient for both the Baseline Diagnostic (Pre) and the Growth Diagnostic (Post), an overview of a student's specific answers to the prompts on the Baseline Diagnostic (Pre) and the Growth Diagnostic (Post), and whether or not they correctly used the relevant writing skill when responding to each prompt in the Baseline Diagnostic (Pre) and the Growth Diagnostic (Post).
