About the Tests
- In 2008-2009 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through
8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science.
- The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering
specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon.
- The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
