At School :: ARDTP

The Algebra Readiness Diagnostic Testing Program™ (ARDTP) is a web-based system for conducting diagnostic assessments of the math and algebra skills of students in Grades 4 through 9. Using both strand tests and computer adaptive tests, ARDTP generates immediate and reliable diagnostic feedback across five mathematic strands: Number and Number Sense; Computation and Estimation; Measurement and Geometry; Probability and Statistics; and Patterns, Functions and Algebra.

When ARDTP is used as a pre- and post-testing tool, students take an adaptive exam at the beginning of the school year to determine strengths and weaknesses; the assessment is taken again near the end of the school year to determine the progress that has been made. In between, students take "strand" tests to chart progress within specific areas.
