ISAT, or the Idaho Standards Achievement Test, is an annual statewide standardized testing program that measures students' mastery of essential skills across three subjects: English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science.
The ISAT assesses ELA and mathematics for students in grades 3 through 8 and 11, while science is evaluated in grades 5, 8, and 11.
Students typically take the ISAT math test in the spring, usually between March and May.
ISAT test scores serve to evaluate the students’ mastery of core subjects. In Idaho, ISAT scores, including math scores, can affect the students’:

No, there isn’t. Mathnasium’s online ISAT 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 start 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.
Your local learning center will determine the ideal frequency of sessions based on your student’s skill level and specific goals. We typically recommend 2-3 sessions of 60 minutes per week.
