Progress Toward Standards (PTS3) is an online reading and mathematics assessment system for grades three through eight and high school.

Form	Number of Reading Items	Length of Administration	Number of Math Items	Length of Administration
A	30	1 hour	36	1 hour
B	30	1 hour	36	1 hour
C*	42	1 hour, 15 minutes	48	1 hour, 15 minutes

*Form C is a combination of items in Forms A and B

Why three forms?

• Forms A and B purchased separately allows a school or district to take a snapshot of where their students are at the time of administration.
• Forms A and B purchased together and administered several months apart allows a school or district to measure student growth over time.
• Form C enhances the ability of a school or district to measure breadth and depth of knowledge within content strands.
• The reading and mathematics portions of the forms may be administered separately.
