Free math placement test (online, no signup)

Find out what math level your child is really on — and the specific gaps holding them back — in about 15 minutes. Free, online, and no account required.

Why "what grade level" is the wrong question

A single grade level hides what actually matters. Two students "in 7th grade math" can have completely different gaps — one shaky on fractions, the other on negative numbers. Placing a child by grade alone tends to either bore them with material they've mastered or drop them into topics they aren't ready for. A skills-based placement check answers the more useful question: which specific topics are solid, and which need work?

How the ClearMath placement test works

1. Pick a check. Start with the Pre-Algebra / Algebra-readiness check, or choose a course-specific check (Algebra I, Geometry, Statistics, and more).
2. Answer the questions online. About 15 minutes. It's not a graded test — it's a routing tool that finds the starting point.
3. Read the gap report. Topics are named one by one: what's solid, what's weak, and a recommended starting course. No jargon.
4. Get a 4-week plan. Four lessons sequenced in curriculum order that target the gaps. Print it, download it, or copy it — it's yours.

Choose the right placement check

Each course has its own check. Not sure which to start with? The Pre-Algebra check covers the foundations most middle-school gaps live in, and the report will point you to the right course.

Also available: Algebra II, College Algebra, and Logic. (Question counts vary by course; the Pre-Algebra readiness check is 30 questions.)

How this differs from PDF placement tests

Many free placement tests are downloadable PDFs you print, give to your child, then grade against an answer key — or they're tied to one curriculum and exist to slot a child into that company's product. ClearMath's check is different in a few honest, structural ways:

• Fully online and instant — nothing to print or hand-score.
• No signup, no email, no credit card to take it and see results.
• Curriculum-neutral — it recommends a starting course across seven subjects, not a single product you have to buy.
• Produces a gap report and a 4-week plan, not just a pass/fail level.

We don't claim it replaces a teacher's judgment or guarantees a grade. It's a fast, free, honest way to see where to start.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free online math placement test?

Yes — this one. It runs in your browser with no signup. The Pre-Algebra check is 30 questions and takes about 15 minutes, and it produces a gap report with a recommended starting course.

How do I find out what math level my child is on?

Take a skills-based placement check rather than guessing by grade. ClearMath's check shows which topics are solid and which need work, then recommends a starting course from Pre-Algebra through College Algebra and Statistics. It scores instantly — no answer key to grade by hand.

Does it require a download or signup?

No. It's entirely online, with no account or email. Results appear instantly, progress saves locally on your device, and you can export it as a file for a backup.

Is it a graded test?

No. It's a routing tool, not a grade. The result is a parent-readable report that tells you where to start.
