The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills
(TAKS) is a completely reconceived testing program. It includes more of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
(TEKS) than the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) did and attempts to ask questions in more authentic ways. TAKS has been developed to better reflect good instructional practice and more accurately measure student learning.
In order to provide you with a better understanding of this new testing program and its connection to the TEKS and to classroom teaching, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has developed information booklets. We hope these booklets will serve as a user-friendly resource that will help you make a smooth transition to
TAKS.
