About ISAT
The Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) is a student testing program that measures the achievement of Idaho students based on Content Standards adopted by the Idaho State Board of Education. All students in grades 3-8, and 10 are to be tested in the three content areas of Reading, Language Usage, and Mathematics. In addition, all students in grades 5, 7 and 10 are to be administered the Science ISAT.
The ISAT program is delivered through a contract with Data Recognition Corporation (DRC). As part of this contract, the ISAT is administered online via the computer using software developed by Computerized Assessments and Learning (CAL). This software provides not only the interface with students that presents test items and captures responses, but includes the necessary training tools, tutorials and practice experiences to support the successful implementation of the ISAT program.
