<h4>Setting Up (Configuration)</h4>
<p>Probe 2 (&#39;<strong>P</strong>rose <strong>R</strong>eading <strong>O</strong>bservation, <strong>B</strong>ehaviour and <strong>E</strong>valuation&#39;) assessments need to be configured by your school&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="/edge/knowledge-base/curriculum/assessment/enter-assessment-results-overview/configure-assessments">Assessment Co-ordinator</a>.

<h4>Recording results for Probe 2</h4>
<p>The selection dictates the view displayed. All Options allows the selection of sets 1-20.</p>
<p>Option 1 allows the data entry of Self Correction and Accuracy (and calculates this into a percentage) along with Speed, Hesitation, Omission, Insertion, Dependence, Literal, Reorganisation, Inference, Vocabulary, Evaluation and Reaction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The minimum acceptable decoding level (Self Correction and Accuracy calculated result) is 96% with the Comprehension Analysis being 70%.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Options 2-4 only allows data entry for Literal, Reorganisation, Inference, Vocabulary, Evaluation and Reaction.</p>
<p>As this assessment can be done more than once, the latest results are displayed, with each test&#39;s reading level for both Fiction and Non-Fiction.</p>
<p>Using the Class tab, result data can be entered.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 20.0063056945801px;">The student&#39;s reading age and whether the result is for Fiction or Non-fiction is displayed.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h4>Assessment Analysis</h4>
<p>In Analysis, bar graphs show progress by year level, classes, ethnicity and gender. Data can be exported from Student, Class, Year and School analysis.</p>
<p>A table displays the total number and percentage of students within each reading level for the Fiction and non-Fiction categories - for Class, Year, and School.</p>
<p>Comprehension analysis is available where individual mark data has been entered for the number of questions using reference tables, comment input and the reading level is calculated; note, the calculated result will overwrite the result entered. Where data has been entered for a student, the latest test date for this academic year is shown on the Assessment Summary Page, English &gt; Probe 2.</p>
