How does the ITBS compare with the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP)?
ITBS and CSAP are different kinds of tests which are difficult to compare side-by-side. They do both measure student achievement, and student achievement results in the two tests can be evaluated. An example of such comparison is as follows: 92% of 3rd graders in the Archdiocese of Denver score Average or Above Average on the ITBS Math test; 46% of 3rd graders in Denver Public Schools score Proficient or Advanced on the CSAP Math test. CSAP tests students in Reading, Language Arts, and Math skills. ITBS tests on these three fundamentals plus Social Studies, Science, and Sources of Information. A nationally standardized test uses nationally-recognized standards to draft the test questions. Nationally standardized tests have an additional advantage over state-based tests in that they allow the testing group to compare itself to the nation in terms of academic achievement.
