About the Tests

  • In 2006-2007 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math.
  • The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
