When Your Child Has Practiced 5 Times, the Real Test Feels Easy
The algebra resource that makes parents say ‘Where was this when I was in school?’. 5 complete practice tests, each with 50 questions — formatted to match the real Illinois Assessment of Readiness — High School Math (IAR). Every single answer includes a detailed, step-by-step explanation so your child learns from every problem.
📊 By the Numbers

💡 Why This Book Works
Other books are ‘compatible with’ your state standards. This one was designed around them.
The IAR shouldn’t be the first time your child sees that test format. Students who practice with realistic tests feel calmer, work faster, and score higher on the real thing. These 5 practice tests give your child exactly that preparation — same question types, same rigor, same coverage.
