Full-length, proctored practice exams are a critical part of ArborBridge test prep programs. Prior to receiving any preparation, students take diagnostic tests to assess their proficiency across a wide variety of topics. Performance on an initial diagnostic test – as well as exams administered throughout the program – informs choices in curriculum and lesson-planning. Additionally, proctored exams provide students with a simulation of what they will experience on an official test day. By taking regular practice tests, students become accustomed to exam format and content and are able to perform to their full potential.

Prior to beginning an Essential Skills Program, students will complete a math and/or reading assessment that gauges their aptitude in these subject areas. Subsequent assessments will be administered to measure progress over the course of the program.
