Math assessment test FAQs

Understanding Star Math

How is the Star Math assessment test administered?

Star Math can be administered on a computer or tablet. The test is adaptive, which means that the difficulty of the questions adjusts based on the student’s answers. The test takes approximately 20–30 minutes to complete.

What does the Star Math assessment test measure?

Star Math measures a student’s math skills in a variety of areas, including number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and probability. It provides information about a student’s strengths and weaknesses in these areas and can help teachers identify areas where students may need additional support.

What types of questions are on the Star Math assessment test?

Star Math includes multiple-choice questions designed to assess a student’s understanding of mathematical concepts, problem-solving abilities, and computational skills.

How is the Star Math assessment test scored?

Star Math provides a scaled score that ranges from 0 to 1400. The score indicates a student’s overall math performance, with higher scores indicating higher levels of proficiency.

How can the results of the Star Math assessment test be used?

The results of the Star Math can be used to inform instruction and support student learning. Teachers can use the results to identify areas where students need additional support, provide targeted instruction, and monitor progress over time. Schools and districts can use the results to evaluate the effectiveness of their math programs and make data-driven decisions about curriculum and instruction.

Approved by administrators and teachers globally

Star Assessments provide a very precise picture of current skill levels… Star Assessments use color-coded displays as well as at-risk criteria, which can be altered, to illustrate important data. In Star Assessments, it’s easy to see those changes, monitor growth, and set criteria for making decisions.
