Use the placement guide provided along with sound judgment to help you place the student in the most appropriate book.  \nThe Score  \n• Fifteen or fewer correct from Questions 1–20 and the student is an average-to-accelerated fourth grader: Student may begin Math 5/4 .  \n• Sixteen or more correct from Questions 1–20: Student may begin Math 6/5 .  \n• Sixteen or more correct from Questions 1–20 and 16 or more correct from Questions 21–40:  \nStudent may begin Math 7/6 .  \n• Sixteen or more correct from Questions 21–40 and 16 or more correct from Questions 41–60: Student may begin Math 8/7 .  \n• Sixteen or more correct from Questions 41–60 and 16 or more correct from Questions 61–80: Student may begin Algebra .  \n• Sixteen or more correct from Questions 61–80 and 16 or more correct from Questions 81–100: Student may begin Algebra 1 or be given an additional test for possible placement in a higherlevel text.  \nThe math placement tests are only one tool used to place a student who is new to the Saxon Math program. You must also consider the student’s age, previous curriculum, and how quickly the student grasps math concepts.
