About Amplify ELA's Interim Assessments

Updated over a week ago

ELA interim assessments are optional assessments that teachers can use at two strategic points in the year. These assessments are not tied to the curriculum text; rather, they offer a more generic pre- and post- assessment option. Therefore, the results of these assessments help teachers gain an understanding of student performance outside of the data provided within Amplify. 

The availability of this content/feature may vary by district and in certain state editions.

To access Interim Assessments:

  1. Log into Amplify.

  2. Open the Programs and Apps menu.

  3. Click Interim Assessments.

The Interim Assessments application will launch in a new tab. 

The Interim Assessments application is a delivery mechanism, and not a platform in which students take the assessments.

Assessments can be accessed in one of two ways – either on paper, or through the third-party provider Illuminate.


On paper

  1. Click On Paper.

  2. Select specific PDFs to download, or select a grade level to download all of the assessments in that grade. 

  3. The PDF assessments will be packaged in a ZIP file and downloaded to your computer. 


In Illuminate

If a school is an active Illuminate customer, they can get the interim assessment activated  by emailing Support at elahelp@amplify.com, who will in turn contact Illuminate on their behalf.

*Schools need to have purchased access through Illuminate ahead of time.
