Georgia Milestones Study Guides and Information
After being disrupted by the Covid pandemic, Georgia Milestones Assessments are back for all public school children in April-May 2022. The tests are designed to assess how well students are performing relative to the educational standards that the state has set for each grade. Third, fifth, and eighth graders especially need to do well or they could be held back.

We tutor middle and high-schoolers taking the end-of-course tests, as well. Fill out our contact form if you’d like a free, no-pressure phone or email consultation.

The tests includes the following types of questions:
