ACALETICS® Assessments/Prep Materials

ACALETICS® assessments are designed to:
• provide information to facilitate teacher planning
• confirm student mastery
• prepare students for high-stakes testing, including endurance and pacing.

ACALETICS® assessments should never be used punitively. We do NOT recommend that our assessments be used for grading purposes.

The main purpose of our assessments is to provide information that serves to link assessments with instruction.

The following descriptions give an overview of each type of assessment, including the main purpose, average score ranges, and alignment with standards.

I. PRE/POST ASSESSMENT

Purpose: This assessment is divided into 3 sections: Application, Computation, and Concepts. It is designed to measure student mastery of foundation skills. The results of the Pretest Assessment are used as a basis for:
• placement of students in appropriate performance level groups,
• determination of effective class-sizing recommendations for Student Performance Based Groups (SPBGs), and
• customization of the textbook Scope and Sequence by grade level.

Average Score Range: Pretest: 33%-50%
Posttest: 60%-80%

Standards: This assessment is aligned with the State Standards and national standardized tests such as the SAT9, CAT5, CTBS, and TerraNova.

 

II. COMPREHENSIVE PRE/POST ASSESSMENT

Purpose: The results of this criterion-referenced assessment are used as a basis for determining student mastery of Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and are the foundation for teacher planning.

Average Score Range: Pretest: 30%-40%
Posttest: 60%-70%

Standards: This assessment is aligned with State Standards and national standardized tests such as the SAT9, CAT5, CTBS, and TerraNova.

 

III. COMPREHENSIVE MIDTERM ASSESSMENT

Purpose: The results of this criterion-referenced assessment are used as a basis for determining student mastery of Grade level Expectations (GLEs) and are used to redirect instruction.

Average Score Range: 40%-60%

Standards: This assessment is aligned with State Standards and national standardized tests such as the SAT9, CAT5, CTBS, and TerraNova.

ACALETICS® prep materials are designed to provide practice for students and are all aligned with State Standards, and national standardized tests such as the SAT9, CAT5, CTBS, and TerraNova.
