# 6.1 Assessments Overview (Montana)
Your student’s participation in Montana’s statewide assessments helps to ensure that all learners have access to a high-quality education. Statewide testing provides valuable information that helps improve instruction, allocate resources, and support student success.
These assessments are based on the [Montana Comprehensive Assessment System](https://opi.mt.gov/Leadership/Assessment-Accountability/MontCAS/Required-Assessments), which includes a suite of required statewide assessments aligned to Montana’s academic content standards.

#### **Tech Recs**
We recommend utilizing your program funds to acquire a **Windows device** for virtual testing.
In the past, parents have had some difficulties using Chromebooks or Macs for virtual tests.
### **What To Expect From In-Person Assessments**
OpenEd will work closely with our school partners and local testing providers to coordinate assessment opportunities as close to families as possible. Our goal is always to make the process clear, organized, and low-stress for both students and parents.
You'll receive regular communication from our team throughout the assessment process, including important dates, locations, scheduling details, and next steps.
Whenever possible, assessment locations and testing windows will be shared at least **one month** in advance so families have time to plan.
OpenEd will directly manage the assessment experience, and members of our team will be available on-site during testing to help support students, families, and proctors.
If questions come up at any point along the way, our team is always here to help!
### **How To Find Assessment Info In-Platform**
After logging into the [OpenEd platform](https://opened.co/parents), click on the **Assessments** tab.
On that page, you'll see a tile of information for each assessment.
Each tile includes a short description, the dates of the assessment's testing windows, and details on whether your student already has a testing date scheduled.
After your student's assessment results are ready, we'll upload them on this same page. It's a one-stop shop for everything you need to know!
### **Participation Expectations**
OpenEd students in Montana are expected to participate in Montana's statewide assessments.
### **Rescheduling Your Student's Testing Time**
You can reschedule directly through the **Assessments** tab of your platform.
From that tab, select the **Find a new time** option on the right side of the assessment tile that you'd like to reschedule.
### **Assessments That Affect Montana Students**
Take a look at the table below for an overview of Montana’s assessments for the 26-27 school year and which grades they affect.
