Review: Exam Elf is boot camp for standardized math testing

 

 

Bottom Line: Exam Elf is like boot camp for teaching fourth, fifth and sixth graders standardized testing skills for Common Core-aligned mathmatics. Make no mistake, this app exists to teach testing skills, and it notes shortcomings in detailed reports. Although it gives corrected answers, there are no explanations provided to students. Users who need to get more comfortable with test taking will benefit from the large volume of questions they must answer to progress in the app.
