The AIMS tests are standards-based tests that provide educators and the public
with valuable information regarding the progress of Arizona's students toward mastering
Arizona's reading, writing, mathematics and science standards.
In the sub-sections below, you will find information and resources pertaining to the AIMS tests. Another great resource for information is The Arizona
Department of Education website located at: www.ade.az.gov/standards.
Every student needs to pass all three (3) AIMS tests to graduate.
- All students in the tenth grade are required to take the High School AIMS for the
first time in the spring of their tenth grade year, based on the cohort year (year a student
entered high school for the first time).
- Students in eleventh and twelfth grade who have not yet "Met the Standard" on a
particular subtest must retake that test in the Fall and Spring.
- Students in eleventh and twelfth grade who have already "Met the Standard" on a
particular subtest have the option of retesting in order to improve their scores.
These students can retest during the fall and spring administration of AIMS, if
they sign-up to do so prior to the testing date. Students who have "Met the Standard"
but did not sign-up to test are to be tested only if sufficient test materials are
available.
- Students who have already "Exceeded the Standard" on any particular subtest may
not retake the test.
If we do not have AIMS scores from your previous high school, you are required to
be tested. We encourage students to call us to be sure that we have your AIMS results
in our records.
Students enrolled at Primavera and who also attend another school will take the
AIMS at the home school. If you have any questions regarding the AIMS tests, please
call us at 480-456-6678.

The Arizona Department of Education also has a sample test that students can print
and review by going to www.ade.state.az.us/standards/AIMS/SampleTests/HSSampleTestFinal.pdf.
This document contains each of the AIMS High School practice tests (reading, writing,
and mathematics), along with an answer key. It is a pdf document, and you will need
to have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print it.
