We believe its important for teachers and parents to have access to tools to help identify skill areas that individual students need to work on. Its common for kids to find themselves at different skill levels in different topic areas within the same subject (e.g. strong in shapes and geometry but poor doing math facts). Assessments can help focus study time to where it is most needed. We think this is particularly useful in math, where skills build on each other to a significant degree.
We have accumulated some publicly released year end test and assessments. We hope you find some of these useful in assessing where your kids relative strengths and weaknesses lie.
