1. What is the IAAT?

Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test (IAAT), a test developed by the University of Iowa, is a placement exam given to middle school students during or at the beginning of the year. The test assesses students’ ability of:

• Pre-Algebraic Number Skills and Concepts

• Interpreting Mathematical Information

• Representing Relationships

• Using Symbols

2. Why should I take the IAAT?

In Fairfax county, AAP ( previous called Gifted and Talented program) students in 6th graders will take IAAT in January. Students have to pass with at least 91% percentile in IAAT test. The students also have to pass 7th Grade math SOL with advanced score to qualify to take Algebra I in 7th grade. The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology admission data in recent years shows that if a student takes Algebra I in 8th grade, his/her chance of admitted into TJ is about 30%. On the other hand, if a student takes Geometry or Algebra II etc in 8th grade, his/her chance of admitted into TJ is 60%. If you want to take Geometry in 8th grade, you must take Algebra I in 7th grade. All that means is that if your child cannot score very well in IAAT, he/she will most likely not be in the top class for math or science in high school. His/her chance of getting into his/her dream school(s) will be lower than if your child scores well on the IAAT.

Start early for your child’s future now by preparing for the IAAT as early as possible.

3. Where will I take the IAAT?

Your child’s school, 6th grade math class will arrange the test.

4. Does your practice work?

The answer is Yes and No. After nearly one year of preparation, we released our first edition IAAT practice tests. We then updated the practice tests several times base on the feedbacks. These practice tests will sharpen your child’s newly acquired Algebra senses and let him/her be more confident when taking the IAAT test. However, it might still not enough. We strongly recommend that you help your child by studying the first half of the ‘First Algebra Book’. It is a very good study guide to prepare for the IAAT.
