AIMS test:
Students in grades 3-8 take the AIMS (Arizona's
Instrument to Measure Standards) DPA
(Dual Purpose Assessment). The AIMS DPA is a combination
of AIMS criterion-referenced assessment questions developed
by Arizona educators and based on the Arizona Academic
Standards, and questions from the TerraNova, a national
norm-referenced test.
Students
in grade 10 take the AIMS HS (High
School) and continue to test twice annually in grades
11-12 until they have met or exceeded the standard
in each area tested. The AIMS HS is a criterion-referenced
test with questions developed by Arizona educators
and based on the Arizona Academic Standards. It is
an assessment of three content areas: writing, reading
and mathematics.
