M-STEP is the state assessment that has replaced the MEAP. This test is intended to determine how students are progressing through the curriculum they are required to learn according to State Standards and new Common Core Standards. This new test will be very different for teachers and students. The biggest difference is that the test will be online. Students will need some important skills to be able to navigate through the test and answer questions, specifically typing. Here are some helpful resources that can help your child practice and prepare for this new test format:

The Sample Item Sets are grade specific. There is a set of questions for Math and another for English Language Arts. There are fewer questions here, but this a great opportunity for students to see the type of questions they may be asked and give them the opportunity to practice using the tools.
