Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) - Spring 2006

The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills is taken by most Texas public school students in spring of each year during grades 3-11. This page contains the actual tests and answer keys used during 2006. (Questions from the 2007 tests will be reused in 2008, so the 2007 tests will not be released until after testing is completed in 2008.)

If you would like to see how any public or charter school in Texas performed on recent TAKS tests, click here. Sorry, but there is no similar comparative measure for private schools.

These files are compiled from public information made available by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the state agency that administers the testing program. The files are also available in somewhat different format on the TEA web site, where you will also find much additional information about Texas schools.
