• The inventory lists all the Essential Skills sequentially - from Whole Numbers through Algebra.
• Results are presented in a manner which is useful to the teacher and student.
• The inventory identifies specific skills in need of remediation and/or reinforcement.

The Diagnostic Testing Program, like the entire MAPS Mathematics Program, is completely individualized - the students are competing only with themselves. They don't have to concern themselves with how anyone else did and they are not going to be compared with anyone else - their goal is to improve their own basic skills, concepts and understanding. The problems are worked out in the test booklet and the answers are recorded on the answer sheet. When the test is completed the answer key is used to correct the test. The numbers of the examples that were missed are circled on the Diagnostic Inventory of Skills Sheet. This sheet lists all of the basic skills in a sequential fashion from Whole Numbers through Algebra. It identifies areas that need remediation and/or reinforcement. The students can see for themselves where to begin and use the appropriate MAPS Worktext to improve their skills. Unlike most other testing programs, the results are not given in staines, percentiles or grade level scores, that have little meaning to the student, but rather through the use of the Diagnostic Inventory of Skills Sheet, that points out to the student and teacher areas that need remediation/reinforcement.     _________________________________________________________________________
