Field testing insures that MDTP tests are of the highest quality, reflect the performance and needs of California math classrooms, and give math educators the information they need to be more effective.
This year, MDTP is introducing a new High School Readiness assessment that updates the current HS readiness test to more fully align with the goals of the California Common Core standards. The Middle School Readiness, Geometry, and Algebra 2 Readiness field tests have been updated to reflect results from last year’s field testing.
These diagnostic field tests assesses students’ readiness in foundational topics necessary for success in California Common-Core aligned classrooms as described below:
Common Core Aligned Readiness Field Tests* | Test Code | Field Test Year |
Middle School Readiness
Field-testing should occur in Grade 6 classrooms. 35 questions. |
MS35D18 |
2 |
High School (Algebra 1/ Integrated Math 1) Readiness. 45 questions. |
HS45D18 |
1 |
Geometry Readiness 45 questions |
GR45D18 |
3 |
Algebra 2 Readiness 45 questions. |
SR45D18 |

If appropriate, we recommend that you use the field test versions, but be advised that field testers also agree to administer a post test and a brief end of course survey in the spring. Field testing is vital to maintaining the reliability and high quality of MDTP assessments and results, so we encourage and appreciate your participation.
