They are a district test. It's not a published test but one created by the district. Our district looks at the state testing as a joke. They have written these to get a real idea of what the kids actually know. No multiple choice junk and fairly comprehensive. They are not graded for a child's class grade. The kids don't study for them. The only time a kid might review for them is when the failed it on the first attempt. They just take them towards the last few weeks of school. I like them a lot.
