Lumos Learning provides skill building and practice tests for New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA). Lumos Learning helps students in grades 3 through 8 by reinforcing their classroom learning to prepare for the English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments.
Beginning in September 2026, Lumos Learning’s test prep incorporates adaptive learning. Unlike a fixed-form test, where every student in a grade sees identical items in identical order, the NJSLA-A adjusts the difficulty of questions based on how each student performs. Content standards do not flex — every student is measured against the same grade-level expectations — but the specific items a student sees are calibrated to that student’s demonstrated ability.
