About the Stöðu- og framvindupróf í stærðfræði Exam
Stöðu- og framvindupróf Matsferils í stærðfræði is Iceland's coordinated national standardized mathematics assessment administered to compulsory-school pupils under Reglugerð nr. 191/2026. Created and managed by Miðstöð menntunar og skólaþjónustu (MMS), this digital assessment is compulsory for pupils in grades 4, 6, and 9, and available optionally for schools across grades 4 through 10. The examination evaluates student understanding across four official content clusters: numbers and arithmetic (tölur og reikningur), algebra (algebra), statistics and probability (tölfræði og líkindi), and geometry and measurement (rúmfræði og mælingar). In addition, every item measures one of three cognitive tiers: knowledge and procedural fluency (kunnátta), application and problem-solving (beiting), or reasoning and analysis (rök og greining). Test sessions allocate 80 minutes of working time alongside 10 minutes of preliminary system instructions, delivered through a secure computer interface with scratch paper provided for rough work. This resource is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation authored by OpenExamPrep for the named examination and curriculum topics, designed to support students and teachers with worked explanations. It is not an official translation or simulation of the randomized digital test forms.

Matsferill stærðfræði is the official standardized mathematics assessment in Iceland, formally titled Stöðu- og framvindupróf Matsferils í stærðfræði. Governed by Reglugerð nr. 191/2026 and administered by Miðstöð menntunar og skólaþjónustu (MMS), it serves as a diagnostic and progress-monitoring tool to evaluate student learning across compulsory schools.
Which students take the assessment and is it mandatory?
Under Reglugerð nr. 191/2026, participation is mandatory for all students in grades 4, 6, and 9 in Icelandic compulsory schools (grunnskólar), subject to individualized accommodations. Schools may also elect to administer the tests optionally across grades 4 through 10.
How is the test delivered and what is the time limit?
The examination is delivered electronically on school computers. Pupils are allocated 80 minutes of active testing time, plus 10 minutes for introductory on-screen instructions, for a maximum 90-minute session. Students are provided with physical scratch paper for rough calculations.
How are scores reported, and is there a pass or fail threshold?
There is no pass or fail mark on Matsferill. Results are reported using percentage correct, a standardized measurement scale ranging from 1 to 19 (with a national mean of 10), and a pupil's position relative to the comparison cohort.
What content areas and cognitive dimensions are covered?
The test evaluates numbers and arithmetic, algebra, statistics and probability, and geometry and measurement. Published content weights vary by grade: for grades 4, 6, and 9 respectively, numbers are 45%/35%/20%, algebra 15%/20%/30%, statistics 10%/15%/20%, and geometry 30% at each grade. Each item also maps to knowledge/procedural fluency (kunnátta), application (beiting), or reasoning and analysis (rök og greining).
Are calculators permitted on the exam?
Calculator rules depend on grade. MMS permits calculators for grades 8–10, using either a pupil's own calculator or the test system's calculator, while calculators are not permitted for younger grades. Scratch paper is available across the mathematics assessment.
