About the Tests

• In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11.
• TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas.
• The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
