About the Tests
- In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8.
- The CMT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined
for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
