Where to Start
Use the Horizons Math Placement Test - Readiness Evaluation to determine your student's level.
- If your student successfully completes the readiness test for Level 3, place them into Math Level 3.
- Begin testing at the grade level your student should be in next. If the student does not pass, have them take the test for the previous level.
- If your student is breezing through a test, have them attempt the test for the next level.
How to Test
The Horizons math placement test for each level should take from 30 to 60 minutes.
- Students should be able to complete the tests on their own with the instructor making sure that they understand the directions for each individual activity.
- See the First level test for special instructions on giving that test orally and for scoring the activities.
- Instructions for scoring and evaluating the results of the test are given on the answer key pages.
Evaluating Results
As always, use some common sense in evaluating the scores. Look at the problems that have been missed.
- If all of the incorrect responses occurred in one or two types of problems then the student may simply need some remediation in those areas and should not be placed back a grade level.
- For enrichment of the identified areas of weakness, refer to the "Appearance of Concepts" in each of the Teacher Handbooks. It will locate lessons where these concepts were taught.
