About Test Factory

Test Factory began in December, 2002 out of a need to administer practice tests (the Maryland Functional Mathematics Test) to middle school students for an exam they are required to pass at the end of the school year. Since then, dozens of schools in Maryland have signed up, and by April, 2003, Test Factory was administering around seven thousand practice tests per day to Maryland students. The MFMT has since been canceled, and Test Factory has sprung full time into MSA practice question authoring.
