Georgia Milestones Math Practice

Georgia Milestones Assessment System - End-of-Grade (EOG). Georgia Milestones is built on standards derived from Common Core. Briveli's CC-aligned curriculum covers the same skills.

Test window

Spring main administration; districts choose a local seven-day window inside the state window (typically late April through mid-May).

Format

Computer-based

Calculator

No calculator in grades 3-5. Grade 6 allows a basic four-function calculator on Part B of Section 1 and on all of Section 2; grades 7-8 allow a scientific calculator on those same sections. Online testers see an embedded calculator.

Score scale

Scale score with four achievement levels: Beginning Learner, Developing Learner, Proficient Learner, and Distinguished Learner. Proficient Learner indicates on-grade-level mastery of the GSE.

About the Georgia Milestones

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (often shortened to GMAS) is the state's annual end-of-grade test. In math, students in grades 3 through 8 take an online assessment built on Georgia's Standards of Excellence (GSE), the state-specific framework that succeeded Georgia's earlier Common Core adoption. Spring testing happens inside a state-designated window, and each district picks a local seven-day window for its schools. The test is a mix of selected-response, technology-enhanced, and constructed-response items, so students need to be comfortable both with multiple-choice work and with explaining their reasoning in short written responses.

Score reports place each child into one of four achievement levels - Beginning Learner, Developing Learner, Proficient Learner, or Distinguished Learner - based on the scale score earned. Proficient Learner is the on-grade-level threshold that the state and most districts treat as the goal. Reports also break results into the major content domains for each grade (operations, fractions, ratios and proportions, expressions and equations, geometry, statistics) and into Lexile or Quantile measures for ELA and math respectively. Because the GSE is closely aligned to Common Core content, families using a Common Core-aligned practice program will find the topic coverage maps well to Milestones.

Georgia Milestones FAQ

When does Georgia Milestones EOG happen?+

In the spring. The state opens a multi-week window and each district chooses its own seven-day testing window inside it - typically falling between late April and mid-May.

What calculators are allowed?+

None in grades 3-5. Grade 6 students may use a basic four-function calculator on calculator-allowed sections. Grades 7-8 students may use a scientific calculator on the same sections. Students testing online see an on-screen calculator instead.

How is "Proficient" defined on Milestones?+

Proficient Learner is the third of four achievement levels and is the state's on-grade-level expectation. A child reading Proficient Learner has demonstrated mastery of the grade's GSE math standards.
