TN Ready Testing
Scheduling TNReady
Online testing for both TNReady and the new social studies assessment means districts have more flexibility than ever before to decide when students take the test
This does not mean your child will spend more time taking tests
It just means districts have more flexibility to determine the actual dates for schools to administer the test
