About the Tests

• In 2006-2007 Massachusetts used the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) to test students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in English language arts and math and in grades 5 and 8 in science.
• The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement.
• The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
