Illinois Standards Achievement Test Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT)

 

The Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) measures the achievement of students in reading and mathematics in grades three through eight and science in grades four and seven.

Administrators, curriculum directors, and teachers should use the Illinois Learning Standards as the primary resource in preparing students for the 2012 ISAT. The Illinois Assessment Frameworks outline the general content specifications for each grade and each content area. No new items written specifically to the Common Core Standards will be included as part of students’ scores/results for the 2012 ISAT tests. Nevertheless, some items that were developed for ISAT do align, or partially align, to the Common Core Standards.
