Complete a Learner Characteristics Inventory (LCI)

Last Updated on July 24, 2026

Before beginning any assessment forms, System or School Test Coordinators must complete the LCI for each student. If you attempt to begin another assessment form without first completing the LCI, you will receive an error message that tells you to complete the LCI, and you will not be able to begin the assessment form.

To complete the LCI for a student, do the following:

1. Select the Not Started tab at the top of the status page.
2. Enter the student’s name in the search bar.
3. Search for the form in the results grid or select LCI from the Select Form(s) dropdown menu.
4. Click on the student’s GTID.
5. Click the Begin Assessment button.
6. Read and answer the questions.
7. You need to answer every question to complete the LCI. The Complete Assessment button is disabled until every LCI question has been answered.
8. When you are finished answering the questions, click Complete Assessment to set the status as Ready to Submit. Click Exit to exit the form.

If you did not finish the LCI and need to return later to complete it, click Exit and Save.

Note: An LCI can still be edited when it is in Ready to Submit status. You can return to the LCI by using the Ready to Submit tab from the Online Response Entry status page.
