Frequently Asked Questions
What math tests do US elementary and middle school students take?
US students typically face three types of math tests. State assessments (like STAAR in Texas, SBAC in California, GMAS in Georgia, IAR in Illinois, NJSLA in New Jersey, and AASA in Arizona) are mandatory annual tests in grades 3 through 8 that measure grade-level proficiency. Math competitions (like AMC 8 and Math Kangaroo) are optional enrichment contests that test advanced reasoning and problem-solving. Entrance and placement exams (like CogAT and SSAT) are used by gifted programs and private schools to assess cognitive abilities and readiness for advanced programs.
What is the difference between MAP, STAAR, and SBAC?
MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) is a computer-adaptive growth test used in all 50 states. It adjusts difficulty based on student responses and is administered 2 to 3 times per year to track individual growth. STAAR is Texas's state-specific, fixed-form assessment taken once each spring in grades 3 through 8, aligned with TEKS standards. SBAC is the Smarter Balanced assessment used by 15+ states (including California, Washington, and Oregon). It is also computer-adaptive but uniquely includes performance tasks requiring multi-step problem-solving and written mathematical explanations.
When should my child start preparing for AMC 8 or Math Kangaroo?
Math Kangaroo is held in March, so start 3 to 4 months ahead. AMC 8 takes place in January, and 4 to 6 months of preparation works best. That said, consistent year-round reasoning practice outperforms last-minute cramming every time.
Which standardized math test does my state use?
Each US state selects its own assessment. Cuemath covers: Texas (STAAR), California/Washington/Oregon (SBAC), Georgia (GMAS), Illinois (IAR), New Jersey (NJSLA), and Arizona (AASA). MAP is school-chosen and used across all 50 states. If your state uses a different test, Cuemath's Common Core-aligned curriculum still builds the skills those assessments measure.
Does my child need a separate sign-up or extra fee for test prep?
No. Test prep is built into your child's regular Cuemath program at no extra cost. Exam-aligned practice, test strategies, and format familiarity are all part of their ongoing 1:1 lessons. No separate enrollment, no add-on fee.
Will my child have a different tutor for test prep?
No. The same tutor who teaches your child's regular math covers test prep as well. Because they already understand your child's strengths, gaps, and learning style, test preparation is more effective and comfortable. There is no adjustment period with a new instructor.
How is Cuemath's test prep different from buying a workbook or using a test prep service?
Workbooks and test prep services focus on practice questions and tricks. Useful for familiarity, but they do not fix skill gaps. Cuemath builds test skills progressively through 1:1 tutoring that develops real understanding. Your child does not just learn to answer test questions — they build the reasoning and fluency that make test questions feel manageable.
Does Cuemath offer SAT and PSAT math prep?
Yes. Cuemath includes free SAT Math, PSAT Math, and full-length SAT Practice Tests as part of the 12-month and 18-month learning plans. Dedicated SAT and PSAT prep pages with detailed information are coming soon.
What if I want to pause, reschedule, or cancel?
Cuemath offers flexible leaves, adjustable schedules, and easy refunds. You can pause, reschedule, or cancel anytime. The refund policy is straightforward with no lock-in period.
