The newest LevelUp assessment window gives administrators reliable interim data to determine next steps with confidence

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A school year can take many turns. A new curriculum can click or miss the mark. An intervention can help students catch up or leave them further behind. One classroom can gain momentum while another struggles. But if several months pass between assessment windows, administrators may not know which direction their schools are heading until it’s too late.

That’s why IXL is introducing LevelUp Snapshot—a new type of assessment window that gives administrators a quick read on student performance in as little as 15 minutes.

“Assessments are one of the best ways to see where students stand, but if educators have to wait months between testing windows, they can miss opportunities to respond when it matters,” said Kate Mattison, Vice President of Curriculum at IXL Learning. “LevelUp Snapshot changes that by giving administrators timely, actionable takeaways into where learners need support and what to do next.”

LevelUp Snapshot delivers interim data that districts can use to track growth over time, compare performance across schools and classrooms, and monitor trends between major assessment windows.

With the addition of Snapshot, LevelUp’s suite of assessments offers schools the flexibility to assess learners at any point in the school calendar. IXL recommends beginning the year with a LevelUp Benchmark to establish a strong baseline. These assessments—which take between 45-90 minutes—provide a complete, standards-aligned evaluation of student knowledge, including grade-level proficiency and a breakdown by strand. From there, administrators can use Snapshot throughout the year to formally measure progress between Benchmark windows.

Meanwhile, LevelUp’s Real-Time mode gives educators an even more frequent view of performance. By answering just 10 questions a week, students keep their scores and personalized action plans fresh, which creates a steady stream of information teachers can use to guide daily instruction.

Each assessment serves a distinct purpose, allowing schools to choose the right approach for each stage of the year—from the first day of class to the final bell. To learn more about Snapshot and the suite of LevelUp assessments, visit IXL’s blog.
