What Is Progress Learning?
About the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments
Minnesota’s MCA tests serve as the state’s official evaluations of academic standards, tracking student progress and ensuring fair access to education, in compliance with Federal ESSA requirements.
The MCA is administered annually every spring, usually in digital format. Paper tests are available for students who need special accomodations. The online format allows for interactive questions, including drag-and-drop and graphing tasks. Each subject test is divided into multiple sections, and schools can schedule these sessions across multiple days.
High school students take the Reading assessment in grade 10, Math in grade 11, and Science after they have completed any life science course.
How Do You Prepare for the MCA?
Start by familiarizing yourself with the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) test format and subject-specific content. The Minnesota Department of Education offers access to sample questions and released test items, helping both students and teachers understand what to expect on the exams and practice effectively.
Using online tools for practice tests ensures students are comfortable with the digital format in which the MCAs are administered. Teachers can also integrate released test questions into lessons, giving students the chance to engage with content in a familiar classroom setting.
