AzMERIT

What is AzMERIT?

AzMERIT (Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching) is Arizona’s new statewide achievement test. Arizona is partnering with the American Institutes for Research (AIR) to develop tests which are unique to Arizona.

How is AzMERIT different from the AIMS test?

Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) tested the old standards. Spring 2014 was the last time AIMS was administered for reading, writing, and mathematics. AzMERIT, based on the new standards, will tell teachers, students, and parents if students are on track to be college and career ready upon graduation from high school.

The Arizona Science Standards did not change, so students in Grades 4, 8, and high school will still take the AIMS Science test.

Who will take AzMERIT?

Arizona public school students in grades 3 through high school will take AzMERIT.
Students in grades 3 through 8 will take an assessment in English language arts and mathematics at their grade level.
Students taking high school level English and mathematics will take end-of-course assessments that will test their proficiency in these subjects.

Only eligible students with significant cognitive disabilities will participate in other alternate achievement tests.

When will the test be given?

Students will take AzMERIT in the spring. Schools will inform students and parents of specific testing dates.
