The Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS) is Minnesota’s alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards. The MTAS is part of the statewide assessment program and measures the extent to which students with significant cognitive disabilities are making progress in the general curriculum.  The MTAS in reading and mathematics was administered for the first time in spring 2007.  Beginning in 2007-2008, the MTAS is administered for reading, mathematics and science.
