MDTP 9th Grade Assessments

MDTP 9th grade assessments were developed in response to SB-359 and are intended to help inform course options for students entering 9th grade courses aligned to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CA-CCSSM). These tests should be used as one of multiple measures, per SB-359 requirements. 


The MDTP Assessment Platform is available at full capacity for use with the agreement that all testing on this platform is conducted in a classroom setting where students are attending in-person and face-to-face and where the instructor is actively proctoring student engagement. 

MDTP does not permit the use of tests on this platform in remote settings. Any observed remote use may result in a temporary restriction of the use and/or access of tests and testing on this platform.

Note: A pop-up notice will appear each time educators log on to the 9th Grade Assessment Platform to verify their agreement to assess students in face-to-face settings.


For support on administering MDTP tests to inform next-course enrollment, view the following MDTP Webinar video:  Informing and Implementing an Equitable Course-enrollment Policy and view the document Six Guidelines for Using MDTP to Inform Next-Course Enrollment Options.
