Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS)

The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) is administered to students in grades 1st – 8th. The goal of ITBS is to provide a comprehensive assessment of student progress in the areas of language and math. Results provide the school with diagnostic data that is used to assist with remediation and better preparation of the school curriculum. In addition, Archdiocesan Policy dictates that students in 2nd and 6th grade are required to also take the Cognative Abilities Test (CogAT), which assesses students’ learned reasoning abilities in the three areas: Verbal, Nonverbal and Quantitative.
