About the Montana Comprehensive Assessment System — High School Math (MontCAS)

In Montana, the Montana Comprehensive Assessment System — High School Math (MontCAS) is the standard assessment for Algebra 1 students. Given throughout the year, it evaluates skills from the Montana Mathematics Content Standards (MT Standards).

The Algebra 1 MontCAS 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.

Our practice exams mirror the MontCAS so closely that test day will feel like familiar ground for your student.
