Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your local Mathnasium Learning Center with any questions you may have about KSA tutoring. Here are some of the more common ones we get:

  • What is KSA?

    Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) is an annual statewide standardized test designed to evaluate students' proficiency in key academic subjects.

    The KSA evaluates students in:

    • Mathematics: Grades 3-8, 10, 11
    • Science: Grades 4, 7, 11
    • Writing: Once per grade band (elementary, middle, and high school)
    • Social Studies: Once per grade band (elementary, middle, and high school)
  • When do students take the KSA math test?

    Students in Kentucky typically take the KSA math test in the spring.

  • How do KSA scores affect students in Kentucky?

    KSA scores serve to evaluate students’ mastery of core subjects. In Kentucky, KSA scores, including math scores, can affect the students’:

    • School Grades and Transfers: Scores impact school accountability ratings and can influence students' ability to transfer between schools.
    • Promotion and Support: They determine if students meet grade-level standards, affecting promotion to the next grade and identifying who needs additional support.
    • Individual Progress: Detailed score reports assist parents and educators in monitoring each student's academic strengths and areas that require improvement.
  • How does Mathnasium prepare students for KSA math?

    Mathnasium prepares students for the KSA math test by using personalized learning plans that target their specific needs.

    Our expert tutors break down complex concepts into manageable steps and focus on developing a deep understanding of math. We build critical thinking and problem-solving skills to ensure students are confident and well-prepared for standardized math exams, including the KSA.

  • What teaching method does Mathnasium use to help students prepare for the KSA?

    Mathnasium’s KSA math tutors employ the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to help students unlock their full math potential. The Mathnasium Method™ fosters math mastery by:

    • Using Personalized Assessment and Learning Plans: We begin by assessing each student’s current skill level which allows us to design a personalized learning plan to guide them in mastering KSA math.
    • Building on Existing Knowledge: Guided by the personalized learning plan, our tutors start with what the student already knows to help them bridge their knowledge gaps and develop solid foundations for math mastery. Adding new concepts in sequence, we work with students to increase their knowledge level by level while enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
    • Teaching for Understanding: We teach math in a way that makes sense to the student, using a variety of mental, visual, verbal, tactile, and written techniques to help them master any math concept.
  • Is there a difference between online and in-person KSA math tutoring?

    No, there’s no difference between our in-center and online KSA math tutoring. Our live, face-to-face online sessions are conducted by the same tutors you would meet at your local Mathnasium Learning Center.

  • What kind of assessment is necessary to enroll at Mathnasium?

    To join Mathnasium, students participate in a diagnostic assessment which helps us pinpoint their math strengths and areas for improvement.

    We use the assessment-based insights to create a personalized learning plan that sets students on the best path toward their academic goals, such as excelling on the KSA exam.

  • How often should my student attend math sessions to prepare for the KSA?

    We usually recommend 2 to 3 math tutoring sessions per week. However, our tutors may adjust the frequency based on each student’s specific goals and needs.

    We advise starting KSA math tutoring early to give students ample time to learn and master the math concepts they’ll encounter on the test.

  • How can I enroll my student for math tutoring at Mathnasium?

    Enrolling your student at Mathnasium is as easy as one-two-three:

    1. Find a location. Reach out to your nearest learning center, even if your student will be learning online.
    2. Schedule an assessment. Our diagnostic skills assessment helps us create a customized learning plan for your student.
    3. Book your sessions. Your local Center Director can guide you and your student in setting up a tutoring schedule.
