The Thinklink benchmark test ranks students on four levels: Novice, Apprentice, Proficient, and Distinguished. After using Math in Focus in Grade 3 from 2010 to 2011, the Thinklink benchmark test scores showed a significant improvement for Math in Focus students, rising from 57% to 91% of students at the Distinguished level for Algebraic Thinking. Distinguished is the highest level that student can achieve.
