• Disengagement had only minimal impact on school mean performance, proficiency rates, and relative ranking on the state accountability test — reports the opposite
• Differential rapid guessing often resulted in test events with meaningfully distorted item content representation — related
• Disengaged test taking materially impacts individual state summative test scores but may have relatively minor impact on score aggregations — related
