About the Tests

  • In 2007-2008 Maryland used the Maryland State Assessment (MSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math.
  • The MSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maryland.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
