The California State Board of Education has adopted core academic content standards in five curriculum areas for Kindergarten through grade 12: English-Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Visual and Performing Arts and Science. The core content standards are the basis for the subject matter frameworks, the adoption of K-8 instructional materials, and the standards-aligned tests in California's student performance assessment system. What are the State Testing Requirements for California? State Assessments: STAR (Standardized Testing and Reporting Program) has 3 components: 1. Stanford Achievement Tests (Stanford 9) Required of grades 2 - 11in Language Arts and in Science; 9-12 in Science 2. STAR Augmented Tests in English / Language Arts and Math. Grades 2 - 7 and 11 are required to take the STAR Augmented in Math for their grade level and Grades 8-10 are required to take the math test which corresponds to the math course completed during the current school year. 3. Spanish Assessment of Basic Education (SABE/2) Spanish-speaking limited English students grades 2 - 11 are also required to take SABE/2
