These short diagnostics reveal which prerequisite skills are ready, which are rusty, and what to practice next—without turning the first week of school into a high-stakes test.
Each resource has six clearly labeled skill sections. Score the whole check-in for a broad readiness signal, then compare sections to choose focused review. The goal is useful evidence, not a first-week grade.

Allow scratch paper and about the suggested time. Skip and return to questions that cause frustration.
The overall score is a quick signal. The six section scores reveal the specific prerequisite to address.
Choose one or two weak areas, practice narrowly, and retry similar questions after several days.
