    • If 6 students are in the group selected for comparison, of which students 1-4 did their first STAR test in March, and students 5 and 6 did not do their first STAR test until June;

    • A selection is made of 'Results 1' for comparison for both years;

    • The 'Results 1' retrieved for the 6 students will include the 4 tests completed in March and the 2 completed in June.
