Using classroom sets of Practice Practice Practice books can dramatically improve your middle school state math test scores. One example happened at a school in the state of Washington. A comparison is listed to the percent of 7th grade students passing the Washington State Math Test.

7th Grade Math WASL (The Washington State Math Test) results for the last three years:

Year	School Using Book III	Washington State Average
2004 (Before Practice Practice Practice Book III)	40.0% passed	46.3% passed
2005 (After Book III used as a supplement one year in the 7th grade)	61.1% passed	50.8% passed
2006 (After Book III used as a supplement for two years - Both in 6th and 7th grade.)	82.3% passed	48.5% passed
2007 (Book III still used as a supplement in 6th and 7th grades)	75.0% passed	54.5% passed
2008 (Book III still used as a supplement in 6th and 7th grades)	94.1% passed	50.5% passed
2009 (Book III still used as a supplement in 6th and 7th grades)	100% passed	51.8% passed

The St. Rose had 100% pass in 2009.

The school teachers used the warm-ups in Book III daily plus one or two of the review problems and one or two of the word problems on a page. About 8 to 10 minutes were spent at the start of each class. The students got a Book III off the shelf and did the assigned problems. The warm-ups kept the students up to date on basics and the word problems kept them familiar with word problems. When taking the state test the students were used to word problems and did very well.
