About the Tests

• In 2007-2008 Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) was used to test students in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10.
• AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona's learning standards.
• Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate.
• The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.

About the tests

• In 2007-2008 Arizona used the TerraNova to test students in grades 2 through 9 in reading, language arts and mathematics. The TerraNova is given alone in grades 2 and 9 and in conjunction with the AIMS test in grades 3 through 8.
• The TerraNova is a national norm-referenced test, which means it measures how well students in Arizona scored in comparison to their peers across the country.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the national average on the test.
