NATIONAL MATH TEST TAKES SOME HITS
http://www.brookings.org/gs/brown/bc_report/2004pressrelease.htm

Washington, D.C., (November 18, 2004) =AD A new report from the Brown Center
on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution finds that math items on
the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) math assessment lack
challenging arithmetic, often requiring skills that are several years below
grade level. The findings cast a disturbing light on recent
highly-publicized math gains as measured by the NAEP assessment.

Despite sharply rising test scores on both the NAEP Math and most state math
tests, the Brown Center's analysis of the difficulty of the math items at
fourth and eighth grade demonstrates that the NAEP test fails to assess
essential arithmetic skills that are required for success in algebra and
higher mathematics.
