CST – End of Course

Math Information

Math Test for students in grades 8-11

All students in grades 8 and 9 are required to take a CST (California standard test) math test, based on math courses they are currently taking and math courses they have completed. Some 10^th and 11^th grade students may not take a CST math test.

Use the following information to determine appropriate math tests:

General Math

8^th and 9^th grade students who are:

· Not yet taking a standards-based math course

· In first year of a two-year Algebra I

· Not taking math

Algebra I

· 7^th-11^th grade students who completed Algebra I during this past summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Geometry

· 8^th-11^th grade students who completed Geometry during this past summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Algebra II

· 8^th-10^th grade students who completed Algebra II during this past summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

· 11^th grade students who will complete Algebra II by the end of the current school year.

Example: Leslie took geometry last summer and is currently taking Algebra II. Leslie is to take the Algebra II CST test.

Integrated Math 1

· 8^th -11^th grade students who completed Integrated Math 1 during this past summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Integrated Math 2

· 8^th -11^th grade students who completed Integrated Math 2 during this past summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

Integrated Math 3

· 8^th -10^th grade students who completed Integrated Math 3 during this past summer session or who will complete it by the end of the current school year.

· 11^th grade students who will complete Integrated Math 3 by the end of the current school year.

High School Summative Math

· 9^th-10^th grade students who completed Algebra II, Integrated Math 3, or an equivalent or higher math course by the end of the current school year.

· Grade 10 students who took the test in grade 9.

· Students who are taking no math course during the current school year.

· 11^th grade students who will have completed Algebra II, Integrated Math 3, or an equivalent or higher math course before the current testing period.

Example: Terry, a 10^th grader, completed Algebra II last school year and is currently enrolled in math analysis. Terry must take the CST high school summative math test.

No CST Math

· 10^th and 11^th grade students who did not complete a standards-based math course during the past summer session and will not complete a standards-based math course during the current school year.

Example: Lee, a 10^th grader, completed Algebra I in grade 9 and is currently enrolled in Consumer Math. Lee will take no CST Math.

Student retake an EOC CST for Math if:

· They are in grade 9 and they had taken the CST for General Math in grade 8 and will not complete Algebra I or Integrated Math I course during grade 9. Those students retake the CST General Math.

· They completed Algebra II or Integrated Math 3 in grade 8 or 9 and took the CST Summative High School Math the following year. Those students will continue to take the CST for Summative High School Math every year through grade 11.

· They completed a course during the previous school year and took the appropriate test but are now retaking the course during the current school year.

Note: If students completed a standards-based math course during this past summer school and is also taking a standards-based math course during the current school year, the student is to take the test for the course being completed during the school year.
