ACAP, or the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program, is an annual statewide standardized testing system that evaluates students' mastery of the Alabama Course of Study Standards across three subjects: English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science.
All Alabama public school students from 2nd through 8th grade take the ACAP in math and English language arts (ELA).
Additionally, students in 4th, 6th, and 8th grades are also tested in science.
Students take the ACAP math test once a year in the spring.
ACAP test scores serve to evaluate the students’ mastery of core subjects. In Alabama, ACAP scores, including math scores, can affect the students’:

No, there isn’t. Mathnasium’s online ACAP math tutoring is the same as our in-person sessions.
Students who choose to attend Mathnasium online will receive the same quality of live face-to-face instruction and even work with the same tutors they would meet at their local learning center.
To begin their Mathnasium journey, students take part in a diagnostic assessment which allows us to identify their knowledge gaps and strengths.
We use the assessment-based insights to create a personalized learning plan that will put each student on the best path towards achieving their academic goals.
We typically recommend 2 to 3 sessions per week. However, our tutors may suggest a different frequency of sessions based on each student’s specific goals and needs.
We recommend starting the ACAP preparation early to allow the student enough time to learn and master the math concepts they'll face on the test.
