About the Tests

• In 2009-2010 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 goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

• 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.
