TAKS Information Booklet - The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS™) was implemented beginning in spring 2003. To provide you with a better understanding of TAKS™ and its connection to the statewide curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has developed newly revised editions of the TAKS™ information booklets. The information booklets were originally published in January 2002, before the first TAKS™ field test. Now, after several years of field tests and live administrations, we are able to provide an even more comprehensive picture of the testing program. We have clarified some of the existing material and, in some cases, provided new sample items and/or more explanations of certain item types. However, it is important to remember that these clarifications do not signify any change in the TAKS™ testing program. The objectives and student expectations assessed on TAKS™ remain unchanged.
We hope these revised versions of the TAKS™ information booklets will serve as a user-friendly resource to help you understand that the best preparation for TAKS™ is a coherent, TEKS-based instructional program that provides the level of support necessary for all students to reach their academic potential.
