About the Tests
- In 2008-2009 Wyoming administered the Proficiency Assessments for Wyoming Students (PAWS) in reading, writing and math to
students in grades 3 through 8 and 11, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 11.
- PAWS tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each
grade by the state of Wyoming.
- The goal is for all students score at or above the proficient level.
