It is a standardized test made by our state testing department and based on our state curriculum. All tests in NC are developed by our state based on the curriculum goals for that grade level or subject. NC also gives a narrative writing test in fourth grade. Middle schoolers and high schoolers also have more stringent exit exams to pass.
