A Placement Test is an assessment that helps determine the appropriate starting point for a student in a specific curriculum. It assesses their current understanding of key math concepts to ensure they begin at a level that's neither too challenging nor too easy.

Select the test based on the level your student completed with their last curriculum and then follow the instructions.

1A = the first half of First Grade, 1B = the second half of First Grade, 2A = the first half of Second Grade, etc.

1. Print (answers are included in the same PDF.)
2. Give your student the assessment.
3. If your student does well, they are ready for the next level of Singapore Math.

EXAMPLE 1: A student completed the entire Kindergarten Abeka Math curriculum. The student takes the Singapore KB placement test and misses just one problem. The student should be successfully ready for Singapore 1A.

EXAMPLE 2: A student completed some of Saxon's Math 2. The student takes the Singapore 2A placement test but misses several problems. The student then takes the 1B placement test and gets a perfect score. The student should be successfully ready for Singapore 2A.

Please note that the publisher discourages starting Singapore Math any later than 3rd Grade.

All you need to do is print out the Placement Test and familiarize yourself with the instructions. Your student will need a pencil and a comfortable work space.

Each Placement Test includes instructions, the test, an answer key and the placement guide in one PDF. After your student has completed the test, you can use the included guide to determine the best placement for your student.
