  1. Math Early Assessment Program

  2. Schools and parents share a common goal: that our students are ready for college and the workplace when they graduate from high school.

  3. Being “ready” means that they have: completed required courses and units acquired the knowledge and skills to be successful in college and at work.

  4. The CSU wants to assess student readiness early enough to give students time to improve knowledge and skills if they do not test “Ready for College Math.”

  5. Students in 11th grade who take Algebra II or a higher level math course can test their “readiness” by completing the CSTs in those courses and 15 additional questions. We urge all students to complete the additional items along with their math CST exam because the information indicates readiness for any college. This test is not timed.

  6. Math EAP Exam ScoresStudents receive one of three scores: *“Ready for College-Level Mathematics”“Ready for College-Level Mathematics –Conditional”“Not Ready for College-Level Mathematics at This Time” • *Students do not have to take the CSU math placement exam.

  7. Math EAP Exam ScoresStudents receive one of three scores: “Ready for College-Level Mathematics”*“Ready for College-Level Mathematics –Conditional”“Not Ready for College-Level Mathematics at This Time” • *The score shows good math skills now but not enough for success in college-level math when enrolling at CSU 1½ years later.

  8. Math EAP Exam ScoresStudents receive one of three scores: “Ready for College-Level Mathematics”“Ready for College-Level Mathematics –Conditional”*“Not Ready for College-Level Mathematics at This Time” • *Students don’t know enough math to succeed in college math; they must upgrade skills and knowledge before taking college-level math.

  9. How do you learn about your son or daughter’s EAP score? The scores for both the math and English EAPs are printed on the back of the CST report. These scores are sent to you in late summer. Your son or daughter can access his or her score online at: http://www.csumathsuccess.org/eap_results

  10. Nearly 40% of CSU freshmen take remedial math because they aren’t “ready.” About 70% of students at community colleges in California take remedial math. Remedial math classes do not carry college credit or count toward graduation. Yet, students pay tuition for these courses. Time spent in remedial courses can mean an additional semester to graduate. CSU students who do not successfully complete remedial math in one year are often not allowed to continue as students at the CSU. Why is readiness for college math such an important issue for you and your child? 40%

  11. What can your child do if she or he does not get a “Ready” score? The most effective action is to continue to study math during 12th grade. Check with a counselor or math teacher to find an appropriate math course in the high school curriculum. Take a course at a community college that has Algebra II as a prerequisite and earn a grade of C or higher. Complete an online program called “Aleks.” Find it and other tutorial options at: http://www.csumathsuccess.org/exam_prep.
