There is a possibility that Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) testing will happen this year for students in Massachusetts, and students need to be ready. At Shine In Math Academy, we will work with all Core Level students over the next few weeks to prepare them for the MCAS. It’s our goal to help them get familiarized with standardized patterns of tests on the content that they have been learning throughout the year.

If your child is in middle/high school grades and is in advanced math classes at the Academy that do not cover MCAS prep, we will reach out to you with some recommendations as needed. Most of the students in advanced classes are well prepared for MCAS testing through their everyday curriculum in the Academy.

This academic year, given the current pandemic situation and its impact on students, we are focusing only on their mandatory testing. We do not want to add any additional and unnecessary burden on students. For this reason, we have also stayed away from all competitive Math exams that we would normally participate in outside of school mandated tests like MCAS and College and School admission tests like SAT/ACT and SSAT/ISEE. Our goal is to help students come out of this challenging school year with little to no impact on their learning and overall well-being.

As always, please contact us if you have any questions or if you’re interested in learning more. Also please feel free to reach us if you have any concerns about your child’s MCAS scores in previous years to see where we may be able to provide additional help.
