Diagnostic Tests Result in Big Math Gains
Evidence from San Diego Shows Timely Feedback Helps Teachers Help Students

Participation in a math testing program that gives teachers timely, detailed feedback on individual students can result in strong achievement gains, according to a study released today by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC).

MDTP INFORMATION: All CSU/UC MDTP tests are copyrighted, the content may not be used by other to create other test forms. MDTP materials are provided to schools with the understanding that the tests will be kept secure and all test administrations will be scored by MDTP regional offices or MDTP licensed vendors (Datawise, Edusoft, Daskala). All licensed vendors are required to submit scoring data to MDTP to enable the project to send printed reports directly to students' teachers.

MDTP regional offices (sites) are located on CSU and UC campuses and are supported by their campus and a grant from the Californian Academic Partnership Program (CAPP). Some campuses have reduced the number of days that mail is delivered to campus departments. This may result in added days for MDTP offices to receive answer sheets from schools and to return printed tests results to teachers. Please order materials as far in advance as possible to ensure they are delivered by your testing date.
