About the Tests

• In 2006-2007 Illinois used the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math and students in grades 4 and 7 in science.
• The reading and math scores are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
• The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
