Because the TAKS program is new, it is anticipated that lower cut scores separating Met Standard and Standard Not Met will apply to test takers in 2003 and 2004. In 2003, a raw score of 25 will place the student in the Met Standard performance category while in 2004, the minimum raw score required will be 29.
