Q3: How do I find out if my school participates in the Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP)?

The Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP) is a California-based operation that offers test and scoring services that measure student preparedness for mathematics courses ranging from first-year algebra to calculus. MDTP materials are commonly used by both the California State University and University of California school systems, plus approximately two-thirds of the community colleges in California. Teachers and schools servicing students in sixth through twelfth grade receive MDTP services and testing materials free of charge.
