MDTP Diagnostic Assessments

 
MDTP grade-level and course-level diagnostic assessments are designed to measure students' mathematical preparation for their next-level course. The diagnostic results should be used formatively to understand students strenghts and areas of unfinished learning, inform instruction and potential interventions, evaluate course readiness, measure program growth, and identify appropriate professional learning.
 
MDTP tests can be administered any time throughout the school year and are available in both paper form and on the MDTP Online Testing Platform.
 
MDTP has a full selection of releaased tests aligned to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CA-CCSSM) curriculum expectations.

This test has 45 questions.

Calculators are not recommended.

Topics:
  • Data Analysis & Probability & Statistics
  • Decimals, including Applications; Percents: Absolute Value
  • Exponents & Square Roots; Scientific Notation
  • Fractions, including Applications

Parallel Versions Algebra I/Integrated Math 1 Readiness Field-Tests
AM45D21*
AM45E21*
AM45F21*
Available online only in field-test.

We offer three new field-tests that are parallel to the current Algebra I/Integrated Math 1 Readiness test released in 2019 (AMR45A19). These parallel tests are designed to provide the same diagnostic assessment of students' readiness in foundational topics necessary for success in a California Common Core entry-level Algebra I or Integrated Math 1 course as defined in the Mathematics Framework for California Schools.

Field-testing should occur in Algebra I or Integrated Math 1 classes and ideally, teachers will randomly assign each of the three versions to students in each class for the best field-test data results.

This test has 45 questions.

Calculators are not recommended.

Topics:
  • Data Analysis & Probability & Statistics
  • Decimals, including Applications; Percents: Absolute Value
