About the Tests

  • In 2005-2006 North Dakota used the North Dakota State Assessment (NDSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading/language arts and math.
  • The NDSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Dakota.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
