ISASP, or the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress, is an annual standardized testing program that measures students' understanding of the Iowa Core Standards in three core subjects: English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science.
Students in grades 3 through 11 participate in ISASP assessments for both English language arts and mathematics. Additionally, students in grades 5, 8, and 10 are assessed in science.
Students in grade 3 through 11 take the ISASP math test once a year in the spring.
ISASP test scores serve to evaluate the students’ mastery of core subjects. In Iowa, ISASP scores, including math scores, can affect the students’:

No, there is no difference between our in-center and online ISASP math tutoring. Our live, face-to-face online sessions are even led by the same tutors you would meet at your closest Mathnasium learning center.
To begin their Mathnasium enrollment, students take part in a diagnostic assessment which allows us to identify their math knowledge gaps and strengths.
We use the assessment-based insights to create a personalized learning plan that will put your student on the best path towards achieving their academic goals.
Most students attend Mathnasium 2 to 3 times per week. Our tutors may suggest a different frequency of sessions based on each student’s specific goals and needs.
We recommend starting the ISASP math tutoring early to allow the student enough time to learn and master the math concepts they'll face on the test.
