About the ISASP Math Grade 6 Exam
The Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) Mathematics — Grade 6 is Iowa's statewide summative math assessment developed by Iowa Testing Programs and delivered with Pearson TestNav. Spring 2026 forms include 49 operational items (plus field-test items) with adaptive delivery in grades 3–11. Content follows Iowa Academic Standards domain blueprints with at least 65% Major Cluster coverage. Results after spring 2026 use four performance levels (Below, Approaching, Meeting, Exceeding). OpenExamPrep offers free English multiple-choice practice with real calculation items covering topics from ISASP math domains—not official items or a full simulation of equation-entry, multi-step modeling, or adaptive delivery.
Exam sponsor: Iowa Department of Education; Iowa Testing Programs (University of Iowa); delivered via Iowa Testing Programs (University of Iowa) with Pearson (TestNav / PearsonAccessnext). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
