The TAKS Test
As mandated by the 76th Texas Legislature in 1999, the TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) is administered
beginning with the 2002-2003 school year. The TAKS measures the statewide
curriculum in reading at Grades 3-9; in writing at Grades 4 and 7; in English
Language Arts at Grades 10 and 11; in mathematics at Grades 3-11; in science at
Grades 5,10, and 11; and social studies at Grades 8, 10, and 11. The Spanish
TAKS is administered at Grades 3 through 6. Satisfactory performance on the TAKS
at Grade 11 is prerequisite to a high school diploma.
