State Revises TAKS Test Schedule

February 4, 2008

To alleviate security problems involved with administering the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) assessments on the same day as primary voting in Texas (March 4, 2008) the Texas Education Agency has developed a revised testing calendar. As a result of the changes, no test administrations will occur on March 4. View Plano ISD's revised testing schedule on our district website.

This new testing schedule addresses the following:

  • By moving the exit level social studies retest from Friday, March 7, to Monday, March 3, the fewest number of students are affected.
  • Three of the four exit level retests - English language arts, mathematics, and science - will be administered one day later but in the same order as originally scheduled.
  • The grade 10 English language arts primary and make-up administrations are still separated by one day. The primary administration is now scheduled for March 5, and the make-up is scheduled for March 7.
  • The Student Success Initiative (SSI) reading administrations are now scheduled for March 5, leaving March 6, 7 and 8 for make-up opportunities.
