Administer the Orleans-Hanna Algebra Prognosis Test, Third
Edition, in just one 50- to 60-minute class period. Five lessons
introduce information and require students to use their
reasoning skills to discover answers to the problems that follow.
A review test assesses very general middle-school mathematics
objectives.
The Orleans-Hanna Algebra Prognosis Test, Third
Edition, helps confirm teachers’ opinions about a
student’s readiness for algebra, providing teachers,
counselors, students, and parents with information for making
decisions about course placement. This version includes infor-
mation to predict the success students in grades 7 through 11
will have in first-year algebra courses.
Included inthis edition:
■ Non-routine problem-
solving items (charts and
graphs similar to those
specified in the NCTM
Curriculum and Evaluation
Standards for School
Mathematics) were added
to make the test a more
accurate assessment of
students’ ability to handle
new situations.
■ Norms are based on a
large sample of 15,938
students representative of the
national school population.
■ Test validity was confirmed
by correlation of prognosis
test scores with final
algebra grades and
algebra end-of-course
achievement test scores.
}AssesswithProblem-SolvingLessons
Questions are in the format of lessons that include charts and graphs and
cover algebra topics such as expressions, exponents, and integers.
Manual
Student Report Forms give teachers a straightforward
way to explain test results to students and parents.
Test results can be used to help students, parents,
and teachers make informed decisions about
placement in pre-algebra classes, one-year,
or two-year algebra programs.
The Manual provides Expectancy Tables reporting how other
students who earned similar scores subsequently performed
in algebra and norms tables with Percentile Ranks for:
■ Students completing grade 7 mathematics
■ Students completing grade 8 mathematics
■ Students in each of these groups who complete
a one-year course in algebra the following year
Classroom teachers can use a scoring key for immediate results.
Student answer sheets include self-reported report card grades in
Mathematics, English, Science, and Social Studies. Extensive
research revealed that combining raw scores from algebra test
problems and grades in these subjects gives significantly more
accurate results than using raw scores alone. The scoring key
weights the information automatically. Harcourt Assessment’s
Central Scoring services are also available.
Student Report Forms help
students interpret their test scores and
learn how other students with the same
scores did in a first-year algebra course.

Assists with Career Planning
Test results can give students
an opportunity to explore
mathematics-related
occupations as they begin
planning their high school
curriculum.The test is also a
valuable component to include
in your district’s selection of
career exploration tools
because it fulfills the School to
Work law’s requirement of
exposing students to career
exploration no later than
grade seven.
