With over a decade of experience in developing practice resources for standardized tests, Lumos Learning has designed the Smart Test Prep methodology to help students succeed on Illinois assessments. This proven methodology offers students realistic IAR practice & the tools to overcome every proficiency gap.

In the Lumos Smart Test Prep cycle, students complete the first online IAR practice test that will allow the system to identify proficiency gaps. A personalized study plan is then generated by the system precisely tailored to address each student's partial proficiency topics. Based on the study plan's recommendations, students can efficiently complete the appropriate lessons in the workbook. After completing the study plan, students can attempt the targeted remedials assigned online to reinforce the concepts and provide foundational skills practice where necessary. After completing the remedial practice, students can take the second online IAR practice test to demonstrate their readiness and standards mastery. This methodology saves test prep time and offers empathetic remediation to help students succeed with individualized practice.
