About the Tests
- In 2010-2011 Louisiana used the integrated Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (iLEAP) to assess students in grades 3, 5, 6, and 7 in math, English language arts, science, and social studies.
- The iLEAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Louisiana.
