Saxon math K-3

This is not intended to be an end-of-the-year test, and it should be used only with children who have not previously been in a Saxon mathematics program. Administer the test to one child at a time in a quiet, calm environment. You may wish to have someone else present to record the child's responses and comments. Read through the questions and prepare all materials prior to beginning the test. Follow the instructions and dialogue on the following pages. Answers are shown beside the questions. Depending on the answer, the child will receive 0 or 1 point for each question or set of questions. (See the boxed numbers.) Add the points at the end of each section for proper scoring. Before beginning, explain to the child that this is an opportunity for you to find out what the child already knows. This is not a teaching situation. Do not correct the child when he or she responds incorrectly or provide hints when the child hesitates. Record the child's answer without indicating to the child whether the answer is correct. Praise the child for focusing on the task and listening carefully. Begin with Part A of the Placement test. At the end of each section, read the directions to determine whether to continue. - p. [1].
