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.
