How it works

Seventh graders take TerraNova NEXT at Level 17. This unofficial page opens on 32 mathematics questions, four for each objective the publisher lists, with language and reading sets beside them. Not affiliated with Data Recognition Corporation, the publisher.

Read the full guide

Seventh grade math on Level 17

The publisher's objective sheet marks five standards domains for grade 7: The Number System, Ratios & Proportional Relationships, Expressions & Equations, Geometry, and Statistics & Probability. This is the last level with the ratios domain; at grade 8 Functions takes its place. So the mathematics set is built on signed numbers, unit rates, percent, scale drawings, circles, two-step equations and probability.

Language and reading

Language has two questions for each of seven objectives, and reading two for each of four. The sheet names no objectives for science or social studies, so neither is here.

Questions and answers

What math is on the 7th grade Terra Nova test?

Eight objectives: Number & Number Relations; Computation & Numerical Estimation; Operation Concepts; Measurement; Geometry & Spatial Sense; Data Analysis, Statistics & Probability; Patterns, Functions, Algebra; and Problem Solving & Reasoning. The Math set here has four questions for each.

How long is the Terra Nova math test in 7th grade?

Fifty-five minutes, in two parts of 15 and 40 minutes, on the publisher's brochure for Levels 13 to 18. The whole battery of five subjects takes 4 hours 15 minutes.

What subjects are on the TerraNova in 7th grade?

Reading, language, mathematics, science and social studies, each offered on paper and online at this grade. Questions are multiple choice, multi-select or two-part.

What is a good Terra Nova score for a 7th grader?

The publisher's Home Report guide puts the national average at the 50th percentile and shades the 25th to the 75th as the average range. A percent right on this page is not a percentile.
