Testing for mastery in algebra

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a test that I can use to evaluate my son on algebra mastery. He worked through aops Introduction to Algebra book and some alcumus but not all the topics online. He seemed to do well in the exercises and review/challenges but seems to have forgotten a few topics as we moved through the book. He has moved on to other aops books, but I would like to asses him on algebra now to see which topics need further review. Basically, I would like him to take the SAT subject test (math 1) next year and want to ensure that there are no gaps in his algebra foundation before getting into test prep territory. Short of writing my own tests, is there another option?

How did you assess your child before they moved on to further levels of math? Any links to available tests would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don’t mind that it based on old standards, I am looking for gaps in knowledge and forgotten concepts over time since a lot of those topics were self studied by my son. 

 

Geometry. You might want to download all three PDFs before they disappear since CA DoE doesn’t host the old STAR papers anymore.

This is what I used a long time ago, the old California STAR testing Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 sample paper. It’s based on 1997 standards  http://mrmeyer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/rtqalg1.pdf

 Thanks. Using this to prep the 8th grader for the June SAT.

My public library has a couple of Algebra textbooks in its collection. Might yours? If so, you might consider asking your son to work through the chapter reviews/final exam.
