TNReady is a part of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) and is designed to assess true student understanding, not just basic memorization and test-taking skills. It is a way to assess what our students know and what we can do to help them succeed in the future. TN Ready is administered to grades 2-12 in the Spring and grades 9-12 in the Fall. TN Ready is an achievement test mandated by the State of Tennessee for grades 2-8 and is administered near the end of the school year in April-May. The purpose of the assessment is to measure student achievement and progress. Results will be communicated with students and parents as they become available from the state - typically over the summer following testing. TN Ready EOC assessments are given in certain subjects in grades 9-12 at the end of each semester. The purpose of these assessments are to measure student achievement and progress. Students and parents will receive score reports when they are made available from the state - typically a few weeks after the testing cycle.
