    ALGEBRA 1 PLACEMENT TEST

    Placement Test Instructions

    This placement test can help you determine whether your child is ready for the Algebra 1
    Teaching Textbook. The test is not perfect, so in making any final placement decision also use
    common sense.

    The student should work independently without the use of a calculator. It is not necessary to time
    the test, but most students will finish in less than 1 12 hours.

    Scoring
    The test is divided into two sections. Section 1 includes problems 1 – 15. This is the simpler part
    of the test, covering material from the first half of our Pre-Algebra product. Section 2 includes
    problems 16 – 30. It is the more difficult part of the test, covering material from the second half
    of our Pre-Algebra product.

    The student is probably ready for Algebra 1 if he/she makes the following scores on the two
    sections.

    10 or more correct on Section 1 (problems 1 – 15)


    and 8 or more correct on Section 2 (problems 16 – 30)

    If the student’s score falls below this level, the Pre-Algebra Teaching Textbook is probably a
    better starting point.
