About the Tests

In 2007-2008 Alabama used the Alabama Reading and Mathematics Test (ARMT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math.
The ARMT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alabama.
The different student groups are identified by the Alabama Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
