FAST AND FREE MATH LITERACY TESTS
| Pre-Algebra | Algebra 1 | Geometry | Algebra 2 | Trigonometry | Precalculus |
Parents often ask us, "How do I know if my child is ready for the next math class?" We've created math literacy tests to help you place your child into an appropriate math class. You can now quickly assess a student's proficiency for a prerequisite math course. Each 10 minute literacy test is just 10 questions long and is designed to reveal if a student has a basic level of understanding of an entire year of math.

Here's how it works. Say you're trying to decide whether a student is ready for Algebra, have the student take the Pre-Algebra Literacy Test. If the student passed a prior Pre-Algebra class he or she should score nearly 10/10 on our literacy test. A poor score is a red flag that the student does not grasp the basic concepts of Pre-Algebra. This would indicate a need for more review before moving on into Algebra.
The test is free of cost and refreshingly free of advertisement and clutter. The table below will help you to determine the appropriate prerequisite for each class.
| Next Math Class is: | Literacy Test | Notes |
|
| Algebra | Take this test -> | Pre-Algebra | |
| Geometry | Take this test -> | Algebra 1 | |
| Algebra 2 | Take this test -> | Algebra 1 | Usually Geometry is taken before Algebra 2 but is seldom a prerequisite. |
| Trigonometry | Take this test -> | Algebra 2 | Some classes combine Algebra 2 and Trig. If so take the Algebra 1 test. |
| Precalculus | Take this test -> | Algebra 2 | Recommend taking the Trigonometry test as well. |
| Calculus | Take this test -> | Precalculus | Recommend taking the Trigonometry test as well. |
This table is only a rough gideline. Specific course content and prerequisites differ from school to school. Contact your school's math department to ask which courses are prerequisites for the class your son or daughter intends to take.
