TAKS, Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, testing occurs in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades each spring. In 3rd grade, students are tested over math and reading. In 4th grade, students are tested over math, reading, and composition. In 5th grade, students are tested over math, reading, and science.
TAKS tests test the TEKS, which are the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. These are located on the TEA website along with past tests. You may access the website at
