Can't teachers make up tests by themselves anymore? It is called curriculum based assessment.
If the teacher thinks he is up to second grade and ready for 3rd, the teacher could get the second grade text book and copy all the unit tests. Spread them out and get a copy of the grade level standards. Cross off anything that is extra in the text book unit tests that isn't something that state has as a standard and is just extra in the book. Cross of extra problems if there are several of the same type. If some skill is an early step in a later type of problem cross of that problem because if he can do the harder problem he can do the first step.
Look the test over and if it is super long as a teacher, use your best judgement to knock off a few more problems. If it is too long for one setting divided it into two parts.
Give test to Kindergartener. Give test to an average third grader that you passed from 2nd to third with no qualms. Give it to an additional 3rd grader that you think is tops in math.
Use your judgement as an educator.
