About the Tests

In 2006-2007 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.
The different subgroups are identified by the Arizona Department of Education; if there are fewer than ten students in a particular group in a school, the state does not report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.

About the tests

In 2006-2007 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.
