How to use Formative Assessments

  1. Choose an Assessment from this page.
  2. Enter your name. I suggest entering your first name and an initial for last name. This step only needs to be done the first time you complete a formative.
  3. Answer the questions. Select the best answer choice. 
  4. Select “Check Answer” to see if your choice is correct. 
  5. Review the feedback. If you selected the wrong answer, you are allowed a second attempt to choose a correct answer.
  6. Submit your assessment to review correct responses with explanations.

Tip: You do not need a Formative student account to complete the assessment. You can login or create a FREE account to save your results by clicking your initials in the upper right corner. 

Assessments cannot be edited.

To accommodate various learners, practice assessments include 25 questions. Instead of creating one large bank of questions, I create assessments with a management number of questions. 

If you discover a typo or mistake, please email me at support@stephanieelkowitz.com and I will correct it right away. 

Assessments cannot be copied or cloned. You are welcome to share links to my Formative Assessments with social media. 

I’ve shared Formative Assessments in such a way that students do not register or create an account with Formative when using Practice Sets. Personal data is not collected.

Students can sign up or log in to create a FREE account and save their results. This can be done by clicking “TE” in the upper right corner of the assessment.

Self-Grading NGSS Standard Specific Practice Assessment

Use these 10 to 15 question assessments to evaluate your mastery of specific content and skills associated with each Next Generation Science Standards. Great for preparing for end-of-year or grade-band, cumulative examinations. Also useful for classrooms that use standardized-test style questions for unit exams.

All questions are multiple choice, self-grading and provide instant feedback. Questions are challenging, are vignette-style and have longer stems. Start with the MS Unit Review Practice Tests for more basic/straightforward questions. Most assessments are 10 questions. Some assessments include up to 15 questions to satisfy the depth of the standard.
