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 goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
