About the Tests
- In 2006-2007 Mississippi used the Subject Assessment Testing Program (SATP) to test students in English II, writing,
algebra I, biology I and U.S. history at the completion of each course.
- Students must pass all parts of the SATP in order to graduate from high school.
- The SATP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each
grade by the state of Mississippi.
- The goal is for all students to pass the test.
