CORE ASSESSMENT CRITERION-RFFERENCED TESTS (CRT)
The Utah Core Assessment Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRTs) are designed to measure performance against a specific performance standard. The meaning of the score is not tied to the performance of other students; it is tied to the Core Curriculum.
CRT tests include: • Reading/Language Arts (grades 1-11) • Mathematics (grades 1-7, Pre-Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Geometry) • Science (grades 4-8, Earth Systems, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics)
All of these tests are untimed—every student should be given the opportunity to attempt every question.
