What is the test measuring?
The test is designed to measure the knowledge, understandings, and skills detailed in the Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science, and Technology (Standards 1, 2, 4, 6, & 7) and the Intermediate Level Science Core Curriculum Grades 5-8. These publications have been distributed to schools. The documents are also available on the New York State Education Department’s web page at http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/mst/sci.html.
