Original & Revised Testing Dates
TAKS Testing Dates Change - Press
Release
To resolve the conflict
created by having Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS)
assessments scheduled for March 4, 2008, the same day as primary voting in
Texas, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has developed a revised testing
calendar. Two changes are being made to the original schedule: first, the
TAKS exit level social studies retest is being moved from Friday, March 7,
to Monday, March 3; and second, the TAKS tests that were scheduled to be
administered from March 4 through March 6 are now scheduled to be
administered from March 5 through March 7. As a result of these changes,
no test administrations will occur on the day of the primary election,
Tuesday, March 4.
This new testing schedule
will address the following:
·
Districts
will not be burdened with planning the logistics of serving as testing sites
and polling places on the same day and at the same location.
·
Moving the
exit level social studies retest from Friday, March 7, to Monday, March 3,
affects the fewest number of students, approximately 10,000 statewide.
·
Three of the
four exit level retests––English language arts, mathematics, and
science––will be administered one day later but in the same order as
originally scheduled.
·
The grade 10
English language arts primary and make-up administrations are still
separated by one day. The primary administration is now scheduled for March
5, and the make-up is scheduled for March 7.
·
The Student
Success Initiative (SSI) reading administrations are now scheduled for March
5, leaving March 6, 7, and 8 for make-up opportunities.
TEA
has released online interactive study guides for Reading at grades 3,5 & 8,
as well as exit level (all subjects).
Other grade levels and subject areas will follow, -
