11/25/2024Montana students will take the Montana Aligned to Standards Through-Year (MAST)assessment in mathematics and reading/language arts in the 2024-2025 school year. Thisassessment is Montana’s measure of student proficiency on the state content standards ingrades 3-8. These standards establish goals for what all students should know and be able to do in each grade. This assessment includes math and reading/language arts testlets that have items that reflect a range of difficulty levels to demonstrate critical thinking and problem solving skills. Testlets include multiple choice, matching, ordering, short text entry, technology-enhanced, and an ELA constructed writing response test items. Score reports in individual testlets are available throughout each testing window as they are completed and generated.This through-year assessment provides critical information about student learning, but nosingle assessment should ever be the sole factor in making an educational decision. It isimportant to remember that assessments provide only one measure of student learning, butwhen combined with grades, classroom activities, unit quizzes and tests, and district-levelassessments, the results of statewide assessments can help provide a complete picture of your child’s abilities over the course of the school year and path toward academic success on these content standards.To find resources to aid in interpreting your child’s report, please visit the Parent Resourcessection of the MAST Portal website.
