Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS)

The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) is a standardized test used in Texas primary and secondary schools to assess students' attainment of reading, writing, math, science, and social studies skills required under Texas education standards. Every portion of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) includes multiple choice questions. The high school reading and English language arts (combined reading and writing) Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) also require students to answer three open-ended (short answer) questions: one on the literary selection, one on the expository piece, and one "crossover" synthesizing the two. The writing and ELA Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) includes a written composition as well. The 9th-11th grade reading Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) permits the use of a dictionary and/or thesaurus, and the high school math and science tests allow the use of calculators along with formula charts. Currently, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) is not timed.
