New Mexico Assessment of Science Readiness (NM‑ASR) | Grades 5, 8, 11 | Summative
The New Mexico Assessment of Science Readiness is New Mexico’s statewide summative assessment for science, administered at the end of Grades 5, 8, and 11. As the NM-ASR is a single measure at the end of a grade band, interpretations and uses of NM-ASR scores should be supplemented with additional measures, including information from classroom summative and formative assessments in science.
