It assesses English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for grades 3–8 and 11 and Science for grades 5, 8 & 11.
It aligns with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
The test is computer-adaptive, meaning it adjusts to students' skill levels with multiple-choice, short-answer, and performance tasks.
You can help by:
Ensure they get good sleep and a healthy breakfast on test days.
Reduce stress with encouragement and a growth mindset
