Currently, the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) encompasses four mandated testing programs. This document includes results from the TCAP Achievement Test in reading/language, mathematics, science, and social studies in grades 3-8; the Writing Assessment in grades 5, 8, and 11; the Gateway Assessments, administered initially to students completing Algebra I, Biology I, and English II; the High School Subject Matter Tests, currently administered in Math Foundations II, English I, Physical Science, and U.S. History. The criterion-referenced TCAP Achievement Test is designed to evaluate the level of students' proficiency on the Tennessee curriculum frameworks. This assessment provides diagnostic information for specific state content objectives by identifying academic skills the student has accomplished.
