Students take TAKS tests for last time

Texas public school students are buckling down to take the TAKS test for the last time before it goes into retirement. Testing season began Tuesday with some grades taking reading and writing exams, and will continue through July. Next year, students will have a new test and acronym to remember — STAAR, or the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness. TAKS — the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills — has been in use since 2003 and will soon join its predecessor, TAAS, in retirement.
