What should a student take after Saxon Math 8/7 or Saxon Course 2?

If your student completed Saxon 8/7 (2nd or 3rd edition) or Saxon Course 2 with a test average of 80+ on the last 5 tests and the Facts Practice Tests, your student should take Shormann Algebra 1 with Integrated Geometry.

If your student did not earn an 80+ on the last 5 tests and complete the Facts Practice Tests, you have three options:

Option 1:

• Retake the last 25 Lessons, Tests, and Facts Practices in Saxon 8/7.

Option 2:

• Take Shormann Pre-Algebra

Option 3:

• Take the Placement Test for Shormann Algebra 1. 

Why do you recommend Shormann Algebra 1 instead of Saxon Algebra 1?

Unlike Saxon, Shormann Algebra 1 & 2 teach all the concepts required to excel on the redesigned PSAT and SAT, and the ACT, while retaining the original John Saxon teaching methods of incremental development, continual review, and integrated geometry.
