How does Study Island work?

The program is organized into topics covering all of the Minnesota Academic Standards that are tested on the state-mandated  Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments - Series II (MCA-II)   in grades 2 through 8.  Also Algebra II EOC and High School product coming very soon!
 
Why does Study Island work?
  • Web-based, so students can use it at school or home and can study and learn at their own pace, and there is no software to download or install.
  • Dynamic content, with several thousand questions and each question is constantly changing.
  • Skills specific, with lessons and practice tests based solely on the Minnesota Academic Standards and specifically designed to prepare students for the MCA-II.
  • Better than workbooks, Study Island enables students to interact with thousands of questions, it instantly grades and records student work, and users are able to print custom workbooks.
  • Question style similar to the MCA-II, allowing students to get comfortable with the testing style, resulting in reduced test-taking mistakes and improved scores.
  • Self paced, because every student learns at a different pace.
  • Multiple study modes allow students to choose their style of learning.
  • Real-time reporting through a real time report card with statistics for each user session.
