State tests should be computerized tests that determine the development level of students in all areas of mathematics. The assessment would start in one branch of mathematics at a level slightly below the expected level, as set by the school district, and progress upward until a student could no longer correctly answer questions. At that point, students would move on to questions at the expected level in the next branch of mathematics. Schools would be evaluated on the amount of growth exhibited by students compared with an expected growth norm that may take into account predetermined develop- mental or socioeconomic factors.
