About the Connecticut Smarter Balanced Assessment — Grade 11 Math (SBAC)

The Connecticut Smarter Balanced Assessment — Grade 11 Math (SBAC) is Connecticut’s official math assessment that covers Algebra 1 content. It is typically administered March–May and measures whether students have mastered the skills outlined in the Connecticut Core Standards for Mathematics (CT Core).

The Algebra 1 SBAC tests students on foundations of algebra, linear equations & inequalities, introduction to functions, linear functions & graphing, systems of equations & inequalities, and more. Questions include multiple-choice, short-answer, and sometimes performance-based items.

Each practice test is modeled after the actual SBAC — same topics, same types of questions, and the same level of challenge.
