What subjects does NAEP assess and how are the subjects chosen?
Since its inception in 1969, NAEP assessments have been conducted in numerous academic subjects, including mathematics, science, reading, writing, geography, U.S. history, civics, and the arts. In addition to these subjects, NAEP is developing assessments in world history, economics, and foreign language. Beginning with the 2003 assessments, national assessments are conducted at least once every two years in reading and mathematics at grades 4 and 8. Results from these assessments are released six months after administration. The assessments are conducted in reading and mathematics in the same year, and initial results are released in the fall of that year. Results from all other assessments are released about one year after administration, usually in the spring of the following year. Since 1988, the National Assessment Governing Board has been responsible for selecting the subject areas to be assessed.
