The Online Algebra Placement Test

The Online Algebra Placement Test (APT) is a quick and easy way to see if your student is ready for Algebra I. Based on our 25 years of testing experience, Seton’s APT has helped thousands of families analyze their children’s aptitude and likelihood for success in Algebra I.

The test is simple to take. The results are immediate and accurate.

The key to the test’s forecasting accuracy is two-fold.

  • First, it covers nineteen key concepts essential for success in Algebra I.
  • Second, Seton’s predictive ability is based on correlating thousands of test results with students’ actual course experience.

Your test results will instantly provide you with valuable insight to help you determine your child’s likelihood of success in the course.

When your student submits his or her test, an easy-to-understand analysis will instantly pinpoint any concepts that need further study. It will also display sample problems and solutions.

For your convenience, Test Results reference the lesson in the Saxon Algebra ½ textbook that teaches each of the nineteen concepts covered in the APT.

Please Note: Although Test Results will show the likelihood of success in the course, it is not a guarantee. Success is ultimately based on hard work and study.
