"The STAAR Tests"

The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) tests are a group of standardized tests that are compulsory for all students in state-funded schools in Texas.

As of 2015, STAAR tests officially replaced the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test. However, they still follow standards issued by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) program.

Like the TAKS test, STAAR tests are taken in every grade and assess a student's readiness to progress to the next grade. The difference is that while TAKS was not timed, students sitting STAAR tests will have four or five hours to complete their papers.

STAAR and STAAR SPANISH are the standard test papers issued to all students (though it should be noted that the Spanish paper is only available for Grades 3 to 5).
