MFaCTs: Elementary

The MFaCTS Elementary has five components. They include the following:

• Examiner's Manual. This component provides information about how to administer, score, and interpret the MFaCTs, as well as technical information (i.e., norms, reliability, and validity).
• Fluency: Grades 1-2. This Record Booklet contains basic addition and subtraction facts and space for the student to respond. It also provides space for the examiner to score the items; sum the raw scores; and record the raw scores, standard scores, and percentile ranks. There are three forms of this component: Form A, Form B, and Form C.
• Fluency: Grades 3-5. This Record Sheet contains basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts and space for the student to respond. It also provides space for the examiner to score the items; sum the raw scores; and record the raw scores, standard scores, and percentile ranks. There are three forms of this component: Form A, Form B, and Form C.
• Examiner Summary Sheet. This component provides space for the examiner to record performance for all three forms of the test for both the Fluency and Calculation tests.

Scores are set to the familiar achievement testing metric with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Percentile ranks and other score conversions (such as T-scores and z-scores) are available. The Fluency test includes two levels, Grades 1 - 2, and Grades 3 - 5, with three 100-item alternate forms per level: Forms A, B, and C. Calculation also has separate Forms A, B, and C for Grades 1 - 5 and Grades 6 -12, with 50 items each for the younger grades and 55 items each for the older grades.

The MFaCTs Calculation test is suitable for either individual or group administration, depending on the level of supervision available. Only the Fluency tests are timed; 5 minutes for Grades 1 - 2, and 3 minutes allowed for Grades 3 - 5.
