What makes Measuring Up® different from general test practice materials that I can buy from any test-prep company?

There are plenty of test preparation materials available, but most of these are nonspecific aids that focus on test-taking strategy. Most test-prep manufacturers essentially produce the same generic product for all their markets. Not Measuring Up®. Measuring Up® is carefully constructed and is written to the state test.

In addition, Measuring Up® goes far beyond simple test prep. The goal of Measuring Up® is to teach students the standards so that they may attain the gateway skills, knowledge and abilities for success in education, careers, and for full participation in our society. With mastery of the standards tested on the state test, students will be sure to succeed on the test.
