In past years Texas' standardized tests have been called TABS, TEAMS,  TAAS and TAKS! The next generation of tests for Texas students will be called the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness or STAAR.  STAAR replaces what is currently referred to as TAKS, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills.  STAAR will be used for the 12 end of course assessments and the new grade 3-8 assessments.  The new tests will be used beginning next year, 2011-2012 school year.  Students who are currently in the seventh grade will be the first students who must meet the end-of-course testing requirements, as well as pass their classes, to receive a diploma.  The new tests will be more rigorous than previous tests and will measure your child's performance, as well as academic growth.  Whatever the name of the test, Creative Tutors can help with test prep for the reading, math, science, social studies or exit level exams.
