Mastery Item Bank
Content that makes a real impact in the classroom.
Formative assessments are crucial for districts to evaluate students' learning and how to best support them. The Mastery Item Bank is the leading formative assessment item bank in K–12.

Everything you need for well-formed formatives.

Every question is aligned to proper standards, across all 50 states, D.C., Common Core, and NGSS. Teachers can rest easy knowing they’re assessing what students really need to learn.

From tech-enhanced questions to open-ended prompts, we have over 100,000 items, 3,000+ constructed response questions, 400+ writing prompts, and more than 22,000 items translated into Spanish.

Each item comes with clear tags such as "depth of knowledge (DOK)," "difficulty level," and "Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy." And writing prompts and open-ended questions include rubrics, so teachers can grade consistently.

Need to tweak a question? Go for it. You can adjust distractors, swap out names to better reflect your classroom, or update terms to match your curriculum.
Assess with confidence
Every item in the Mastery Item Bank is crafted by expert item writers, reviewed by subject pros, and polished by content editors. Everything goes through a rigorous review process and follows best assessment design practices, including universal design principles.
