About the Tests

In 2010-2011 Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) was used to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10.
AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona's learning standards.
Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate.
The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
