6th grade teacher

They are challenged by some questions but the hints help them and they love that part. They are so ready for the testing in the spring that they tell me how easy the Milestones is for them.

Biology Teacher

The customer service is great. It puts the responsibility back on the kids for practice and shows them their progress and how then can practice the material.

Middle Grades Teacher

Ease of use for students makes for seamless classroom use. I love that I have a tool that allows students to visually see their progress via the dot ranks.

Teacher 

It has been wonderful for my entire school. Plus, customer service has been extremely helpful when needed.

Overall, I LOVE using USA test prep in my classes. When introduced carefully to students and monitored frequently, it helps students to grow in my class.

I love the fact that remediation can be created off of benchmarks. It's user friendly on that aspect.

Easy to use and great assessments. I love how they can be customized.

This one is the best I've encountered so far for ease in building benchmarks and collecting data.

This is a paid program, so I was disappointed by this fact.

I also like the fact that I can select my students’ needed areas of improvement and tailor specific units to address their individual needs.

USATestprep also helps to bolster students’ self confidence when they get correct answers.

I really enjoyed how easy it was to sign up students for this program after we purchased a lesson. It integrated well with our class rosters.

When the website crashes, it throws the routine off. It doesn't happen often, but it sometimes has caused problems.

Not unlike three actual EOC tests, these practice tests are poorly worded, difficulties to read, and rather low equality.

It's never a word that's vital to the question yet not knowing it causes the kids to stop, get a little off track with the math, and try to figure out the word.

Teachers are able to choose what they want to integrate within their existing curriculum. There are many resources and activities to choose from.

Melinda,

Thank you for the review, and I'll be passing your WiFi comment on to our product development team. 

UTP has provided our educators with a new level of confidence and engagement in meetings and in their classroom. No longer is one teacher standing alone in the data room. All teachers are able to access their data in real-time and provide feedback and assistance to the end user which is the learner. 

UTP: the Equalizer

It is great to have something that helps students practice for standardized testing! Gives them more confidence than before.

Helpful in Classroom

Hi Jessie! Would a quick refresher help?  We've made numerous product upgrades recently and our platform is known for its robust offerings but we understand busy teachers don't always have time to explore all the options. Give us a call and ask for a quick 20-minute demo/walkthrough or, if you prefer, our YouTube page has a number of teacher resources.

We want you to get the full benefit of the platform. Let us know how we can help!

We use USA Test Prep throughout our entire school.

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for your review! In your assignment and benchmark results, you can see the students¿ original scores and retry scores displayed together (original on top and retry directly below).  However, in your gradebook, you do have to toggle back and forth between original and retry.

If you would like to see everything that a student has completed, even what they chose not to report, then you can log in to the student¿s account (go to your Classes tab ¿> gear icon on far right ¿> Login link next to the student¿s name) and go to the Graded Work button on their home page.  That will give an overall list of everything they¿ve completed on the site.

Easy data analysis with ease of teacher training.  This product definitely improves standardized testing scores and student test stamina.  As a daily lesson enhancement tool, this software is top notch.

USATestPrep is an exceptional tool for teachers to utilize in the enrichment of daily lessons.

My classes have shown growth in their performance on the Milestone assessment based on their practice and remediation within USA TP. I could not prepare my classes for their Milestone assessment without the resources of USA TP.

USA TestPrep Increases Student Engagement and Learning

I have had to contact support a couple of times and they are always wonderful at helping.

Boost your test scores with rigorous practice.

It is a resource that provides individualized practice of their specific areas of need.  Students can see their results, the correct answers, practice specific skills they need to improve, they can practice those skills in a variety of ways, they can choose the skills they want to work on, they can access from any place they can get internet, they can follow their progress, and we can work together, using their data to talk about their needs.  I love this program.

As I've learned more about the features in USAtestprep,  I have been able to individualize !!!

It has been a great addition to our curriculum!    I strongly recommend it 

USAtestprep in the classroom

USATP is easy to use and gives multiple ways to remediate and test students.

Karen, Thank you for your review and feedback.  I have passed this to the head of our ELA content team.  If you haven't already, we suggest searching by passages, and sorting them according to how many questions are in each.

My student’s test scores have risen since using USA test prep. They are more confident in their skills and knowledge. It has made teaching a tested content much easier. 

USATestPrep in a high school classroom 

Absolutely GREAT customer support. They respond quickly and work with you in many ways. 

This software has actually taught me a lot about data collection and learning how to use numbers to track student progress, plan for student interventions, and to build / rebuild skills throughout the course of the year. I've had great success with this software personally and have had 97%+ of  my students pass the state tests each year. 

I've been using this software for several years (5+) and it's been a great resource in that time. 

Valuable educational resource

Alison,
Thank you for writing this review. 

My overall experience was exciting. I used to program to access my students and prepare for Testing prep. After seeing last years data, it’s a prime example of a productive program. 

Success of a Powerful program 

I use it almost daily to help kids with the learning experience. I love it!

Well Worth the Money

Great for review and more.

Great resource for review and test creation

Veronica,
Thank you for your review.  We pride ourselves on being aligned to the state standards. When you find a question that is not aligned, please use the feedback button to send a report to our content team so they can fix the item.

I use it to strengthen student learning and improve test-taking skills.

Excellent support

USA Test Prep provides many different types of questions for students all in a user friendly package

My students are MORE than ready to take the GMAS each year. This makes daily activities less daunting! 

BEST test prep out there!

it is amazing

Branden,  Thank you for your kind feedback. 

Students are better prepared for state-wide standardized testing. Also used for in-class testing in classes that do not have state

This is my go-to testing and test preparation platform. There is none better!

I like this software because I can study easily and it will help me learn what I’m studying with having some fun.

Upping the Rigor and Standardized Scores

Jessica:                                               I'm Jessica and I am a Director of Curriculum. My rating for USATestprep is a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. USATestprep helped my school a lot because we were trying to get people ready for the MAP test. And so, we were able to assign lessons or have review games based on specific Missouri state standards. So, it met the need of being able to look at the standards where we were weak and create or use pre-made quizzes or lessons to help fill that need with our students. And also help with our students who did after-school tutoring because we really needed, especially for those kids, something that was going to target the gaps of what they specifically needed to know and maybe what they had missed in years past.
                                                       Probably my favorite thing as an educator about USATestprep is the review games, especially the white board or smart board games like Battle Royale. My kids really liked Battle Royale. Being able to split into boys versus girls or just different groups within the room. And you could do that whole group or in small group. And also being able to play that game, having it be fun, having the rewards built into the game, not have to be something you have to pay or have candy for or anything like that. Something is as simple as hearing a specific noise because they did well or having to have the other team lose points or versus you getting bonus points. So, it really helped.
                                                       It also helped with competition because a lot of kids kind of thrive on that. And kids that maybe under normal circumstances wouldn't have been excited about a review of lesson material would be more excited because we were getting to play Battle Royale and they were getting to pick their own team name and team character and try to beat the other teams. So, Battle Royale and in general the review games on USATestprep are my favorite part of USATestprep.
                                                       One thing that I struggled with USATestprep was creating my own benchmark test. I don't feel like USATestprep is quite as intuitive as other test making programs that are educational. For instance, sites like Kahoot! or Quizizz, where you're able to very quickly choose from a pool of questions. I know that USATestprep it's similar, but I had a little bit more of an issue creating, especially if I wanted to create my own questions. Normally for things like that, instead of USATestprep, I would go to using Google Forms, Quizizz, or Kahoot!, just because to me, they were more user-friendly. And I stuck to using USATestprep for individual assigned lessons and also for the review games.
