About the Tests

  • In 2006-2007 West Virginia used the West Virginia Educational Standards Test (WESTEST) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and science and in grades 3 through 8 in social studies.
  • The WESTEST is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of West Virginia.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
