About the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR)
The Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) is Illinois’s annual statewide math test for elementary students. Taken during March–April, it assesses mastery of Illinois Learning Standards for Mathematics (ILS) standards.
For grade 3 math, the IAR assesses knowledge across areas like multiplication & division, place value & computation, fractions, time, mass & volume, and more. Students encounter multiple-choice, constructed-response, and performance-based items.
We designed our practice exams to closely replicate the IAR experience — same format, similar difficulty, and matching content coverage.
