What should I take after Saxon Algebra 1/2 or Saxon Course 3?

Did your student complete Saxon Algebra 1/2 (2nd or 3rd edition) or Saxon Course 3 with a test average of 80+ on the last 5 tests?

No: Repeat the last 30 lessons and the corresponding tests as instructed on the DIVE Teacher Guide then take Shormann Algebra 1 with Integrated Geometry.

Yes: Take Shormann Interactive Algebra 1 with Integrated Geometry. 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.
