About the Program
The MAST Science Pilot provides students in grades 6, 7, and 8 with science assessments aligned to the Montana Science Standards. The pilot consists of optional individual testlets, which are administered during three designated assessment windows:
- October 19-December 11, 2026
- January 11-March 5, 2027
- March 29-May 21, 2027
Participating districts may determine the sequence in which the science testlets are administered to ensure alignment with their local curriculum’s scope and sequence. Each testlet is designed to be completed within a single class period, supporting efficient and classroom-friendly implementation.
