About the Tests
- In 2010-2011 Colorado used the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP)
to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3
through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10.
- The CSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well
students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state
of Colorado.
- The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
