All sophomores and juniors, as well as some select seniors, will be participating in the Arizona state-mandated AIMS tests this week. Tuesday will be the AIMS writing test; Wednesday will be the reading portion; and Thursday will be the math section.
Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards is what is commonly referred to as an "exit exam," because, irrespective of a student's academic performance during his four years of high school, the student cannot graduate without passing all three (soon to be four---science) tests.

Good luck, and don't panic.
