What is a Math Assessment Test?

Math Assessment Tests play a major role in determining your future academic success. This form of testing evaluates your knowledge of the mathematical concepts you were taught in the past, and determines which mathematical courses you will take in the future. Success on a math assessment test can help you get accepted to the college or university of your choice. Once you are accepted, a strong score can potentially help you save time and money by placing out of remedial or introductory level math classes.

Even if you were a strong math student in the past, it is still highly recommended to review what you have learned prior to taking a math assessment test, since any form of knowledge needs refreshing in order to be maintained. Students often find that material they learned months or even years ago comes back to them relatively quickly once they start practicing.

To help you maximize your knowledge of past material, TestPrep-Online offers math study guides and questions for reviewing every math concept to be expected on a typical math assessment exam. You can learn and review concepts from the study guides and then practice the material in a setting that closely mimics a real Math Assessment Test. The pack includes solutions an detailed explanations for every question, empowering you to improve continuously.

What to Expect on a Math Assessment Test

Math assessments vary from state to state, and from purpose to purpose. Some common purposes of Math Assessment Tests are:

• Assessing progress in the middle of a high school, college, or university program
• Evaluating applicants for a college, university, special program, or scholarship
• Placing students into math classes at the level that's right for them

However, certain features remain the same. Here is a list of traits you can most likely expect on a math examination:

• A typical math assessment test will cover pre-algebra and arithmetic skills
• Algebra assessment is given as a separate portion of the test
• Today most math CTAs are completed on a computer and are untimed
• Three levels of testing can be expected on these tests including basic skills (sequence of math operations), application (applying basic functions to the appropriate problems), analysis (understanding ratios and complex functions)

Try to learn all you can about the assessment you'll be taking. What material will be covered? What question types will appear? Is there a time limit,and if so, how long? Learn more about which type of skills each section evaluates below:
