Our schools are "data driven" so teachers are required to pre test and post test the kids beginning of the year and end of the year. For math each grade level math book comes with theses tests. I do believe they are split into part a and part b and given over two days. They cover all the "big ideas" (main concepts) and almost all of the minor ones. I don't believe there are many problems per concept. They also have the computerized STAR (by the AR people not the California test) Math test.

My point is the pretests/end of year test in our schools do cover the entire year curriculum.
