Comprehensive Mathematical Abilities Test (CMAT) Author(s): Wayne P. Hresko / Paul L. Schlieve Math Skills Individual Administration Ages 7 through 18 Norm-Referenced Qualification Level B Description This versatile assessment uses real-world problems to assess the math skills taught in schools today. There are six core subtests: Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Problem Solving Charts. Tables, and Graphs and six Supplemental Subtests Algebra Geometry Rational Numbers Time; Money; and Measurement (For most testing purposes, you will only want to give the core subtests.) Core Composites Basic CalculationsSubtests that comprise this composite are Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division. It measures basic calculations. Mathematical Reasoning The Problem Solving and Charts, Tables and Graphs subtests make up this composite. It measures mathematical reasoning. General MathematicsThis composite is formed by combining the six core subtests. Supplemental Composites Advanced CalculationsThe subtests in this composite (Rational Numbers, Algebra, and Geometry) are usually given to middle school or older students who are showing poor achievement or to advanced students. Practical ApplicationsThis composite measures the ability to solve problems related to time concepts (Time), the use of money (Money), and aspects of measurement (Measurement). Overall Mathematic AbilitiesThe results of all twelve CMAT subtests all combine to form this composite. Not all subtests need to be given. Administration and Scoring The core subtests can be administered in about 40 minutes. Core Composites are reported in standard scores for Basic Calculations, Mathematical Reasoning, and General Mathematics.
