GR45X94 0474594 |
SR |
This test measures the critical conceptual ideas needed from first-year algebra and geometry to be successful in intermediate algebra following a course in geometry. This is the test to give near the end of the geometry year or near the beginning of the second year of algebra. SR45A93 remains availabe upon request. |

MR Mathematical Analysis Readiness |
This test assumes two years of algebra and a year of geometry in preparation for a precalculus course. It has significant geometry content. It would ordinarily be given near the end of this sequence or near the beginning of the next course; typically called trigonometry, precalculus, or math analysis. MR45A92 will remains available upon request. |

BC |
This test is designed for students enrolled in an introductory calculus course that requires the use of a graphing calculator. In addition to testing some calculus readiness concepts and skills, this test examines student facility with graphing calculators. Administering the test early in the course can provide information about students facility with graphing calculators. |

Spanish versions of most MDTP tests are available at the AR, EA, GR, and SR levels.
*Calculator Optional, Not Required, Not Recommended
The diagnostic value of the results may be reduced if students use calculators. Teachers may allow students to use calculators, but other than the BC test, graphing calculators may not be used. Calculators with "Solve" keys should not be used on any test.
