Dear Student and Parent:
The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) is a comprehensive testing
program for public school students in grades 3–11. TAKS replaces the Texas Assessment
of Academic Skills (TAAS) and is designed to measure to what extent a student has
learned, understood, and is able to apply the important concepts and skills expected
at each tested grade level. In addition, the test can provide valuable feedback to
students, parents, and schools about student progress from grade to grade.
Students are tested in mathematics in grades 3–11; reading in grades 3–9; writing in
grades 4 and 7; English language arts in grades 10 and 11; science in grades 5, 8, 10,
and 11; and social studies in grades 8, 10, and 11. Every TAKS test is directly linked
to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum. The TEKS is the
state-mandated curriculum for Texas public school students. Essential knowledge
and skills taught at each grade build upon the material learned in previous grades.
By developing the academic skills specified in the TEKS, students can build a strong
foundation for future success.
The Texas Education Agency has developed this study guide to help students
strengthen the TEKS-based skills that are taught in class and tested on TAKS. The
guide is designed for students to use on their own or for students and families to
work through together. Concepts are presented in a variety of ways that will help
students review the information and skills they need to be successful on the TAKS.
Every guide includes explanations, practice questions, detailed answer keys, and
student activities. At the end of this study guide is an evaluation form for you to
complete and mail back when you have finished the guide. Your comments will help
us improve future versions of this guide.
There are a number of resources available for students and families who would like
more information about the TAKS testing program. Information booklets are available
for every TAKS subject and grade. Brochures are also available that explain the Student
Success Initiative promotion requirements and the new graduation requirements for
eleventh-grade students. To obtain copies of these resources or to learn more about
the testing program, please contact your school or visit the Texas Education Agency
website at www.tea.state.tx.us.
Texas is proud of the progress our students have made as they strive to reach their
academic goals. We hope the study guides will help foster student learning, growth,
and success in all of the TAKS subject areas.
Sincerely,
Lisa Chandler
Director of Student Assessment
