Correlated Content in Target Test Prep
Created by a team of testing experts, teachers, and instructional designers, Target Test Prep contains a large practice database of validated and correlated test questions.

What does this mean?

It means that you can be sure you're exposing your students to the types of questions they'll encounter on your state standards-based tests. It also means that the content in Target Test Prep is aligned with the objectives and essential skills that are required by your national and state education standards--and tested for in your national and state assessments.

When you create practice tests using Target Test Prep, and administer them to your students, you can be certain they're reviewing the breadth of skills tested for in your state's standards-based test.

Aligned to Curriculum Standards
The skills that are covered in Target Test Prep's database are based upon standards published by the:

  • National Council of Teachers of Math
  • National Council of Teachers of English
  • NAEP and Goals 2000
  • 48 State Departments of Education

We analyzed and cross-referenced skills and objectives specified by these organizations with what is tested for by major national and state assessments to come up with a comprehensive skill list. Every test item in our database maps to the skills your students must master within the subject areas of Language Arts, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics. You can be certain that your students are receiving a comprehensive review of all skills for which they may be tested on in your national and state standards-based tests.

You can also be sure that they're receiving practice on the right types of question items for the tests they'll be required to take. Target Test Prep includes over 10 different question item formats for multiple choice and a variety of performance item formats--including long response and short response. As familiarity with test item formats is a critical success factor, you can be sure your students are gaining the test-taking skills they need.
