Numeracy Skills Assessments
Focus: understanding, use, and application of math content and problem solving.
These assessments aim to identify previous knowledge and experience in different areas of numeracy skills. The assessments will help determine skills you are strong in and which skills you could benefit from working on.
See assessments currently available below:
