Key Features of MAT Language Arts:
* Computer-adaptive: The test adapts to the student's performance, presenting more challenging questions if they answer correctly and easier questions if they answer incorrectly.
* Norm-referenced: Student scores are compared to a national sample of students at the same grade level.
* Progress monitoring: The test can be used to track student progress over time and identify areas where they need additional support.
Note: MAT is not the only standardized test that includes language arts. Other widely used tests include the Iowa Assessments, the Stanford Achievement Test, and the TerraNova.
