The MCA in mathematics is administered to students in grades 3 through 8 and once in high school (usually during 11th grade). The assessment measures their understanding of mathematical concepts aligned with state standards.
The MCA includes a variety of question types, such as multiple-choice, short-answer, and constructed-response questions, to assess different levels of understanding and critical thinking.
The passing score for MCA tests is based on state-set academic standards, which may vary by grade level and subject area. The goal is to meet the proficiency level set for each student group.
