NJASK 2008 Assessment Reports
Please Note: The results of the redesigned NJ ASK 5-8 Language Arts Literacy (LAL) and mathematics cannot be compared with those of previous assessments due to changes in test design. In 2008, grades five through eight assessments were redesigned as NJ ASK 5-8. Grades five through seven of the new ASK 5-8 replaced the ASK 5-7 administered in 2006 and 2007. For grade eight, ASK 8 replaced GEPA marking 2007 as the last GEPA administration; however, the ASK 8 science test design remains unchanged from GEPA. It is important to note that the redesigned NJ ASK 5-8 for LAL and mathematics differ significantly in terms of item type, passage length, and testing time. Therefore direct comparisons of student performance across these tests are inappropriate.
