Math Test for students in Grades 8-11

All students in grades 8 and 9 are required to take a CST (California standards test) math test, based on math courses they are currently taking and math courses they have

completed. Some 10th and 11th grade students may not take a CST math test.

Use the following information to determine appropriate math tests:

General Math

8th and 9th grade students who are:

• Not yet taking a standards-based math course
• In first year of a two-year algebra I
• Not taking math

Algebra I

• 8th - 11th grade students who completed algebra I during the previous summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Geometry

• 8th - 11th grade students who completed algebra I during the previous summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Algebra II

• 8th -- 10th grade students who completed algebra II during the previous summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.
• 11th grade students who will complete algebra II by the end of the current school year.

Example: Leslie took geometry last summer and is currently taking algebra

II. Leslie is to take the algebra II CST test.

Integrated Math 1

• 8th - 11th grade students who completed integrated math 1 during the previous summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Integrated Math 2

• 8th - 11th grade students who completed integrated math 1 during the previous summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Integrated Math 3

• 8th - 10th grade students who completed integrated math 3 during the previous summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school school year.
• 11th grade students who will complete integrated math 3 by the end of the current school year.

High School Summative Math

• 9th - 10th grade students who completed algebra II, integrated math 3 or an equivalent or higher math course by the end of the previous school year.
• Grade 10 students who took the test in grade 9.
• Students who are taking no math course during the current school year.
• 11th grade students who will have completed algebra II, integrated math 3 or an equivalent or higher math course before the current testing period.
• Students who are taking no math course during the current school year.

Example: Terry, a 10th grader, completed algebra II last year and is currently enrolled in math analysis. Terry must take the CST high school summative math test.

 No CST Math

• 10th and 11th grade students who did not complete a standards-based math course during the previous summer session and will not complete a standards-based math course during the current school year.

Example: Lee, a 10th grader, completed algebra I in grade 9 and is currently enrolled in consumer math. Lee will take no CST math test.

Note: If a student completed a standards-based math course during the previous summer school and is also taking a standards-based math course during the current school year, the student is to take the test for the course being completed during the school year.
