TNReady Science

• For grades 3 and 4, the science assessment consists of one, 50-minute subpart.
• For grades 5 through 8, the science assessment consists of two subparts (48 minutes and 47 minutes).
• For high school, the Biology and Chemistry assessments consist of one, 75-minute subpart.
• The science assessments will assess the current Tennessee Academic Standards requiring students to demonstrate a deep conceptual understanding of scientific concepts in Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science.
• The science assessments have not yet been reworked to include multiple types of questions, but the department plans to redesign the test in future years, which would give it a similar feel to the other TNReady assessments.
