A Placement Test is an assessment designed to help you determine the appropriate level for your student within a specific curriculum. It evaluates your student’s current understanding of key math concepts so they can begin at a level that is neither too challenging nor too easy.
Is there a fee for a Placement Test?
No. Placement Tests are provided free of charge by the curriculum publishers.
You simply download the appropriate test, print it, and administer it at home.
Who scores the Placement Test?
You do!
Each Placement Test PDF includes:
Instructions
The test
An answer key
A placement guide
After your student completes the test, you use the included answer key and placement guide to determine the recommended starting level.
What do I do after I have the results?
Once you know the recommended level:
Go to your Parent Dashboard
Open Course Settings on your student’s card
Select the curriculum, textbook, and Starting Lesson
Click Save
Can the Placement Test be used as an end of year assessment?
No, publishers design Placement Tests to only be used in a very specific way- as a tool to determine the best level for a new student to start their curriculum.
Will the Placement Test determine which lesson to start my student on?
Yes- Lesson 1! Placement Tests, unless otherwise explicitly stated by the publisher, will determine which textbook level is the best placement for your student. They are not designed to target specific lessons within that textbook level.
