English term or phrase: Arizona Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching (AzMerit)
Hello all,

I am translating a series of letters that refer to the above-referenced test. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is the information I have regarding this evaluation measure.

"AzMERIT (Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching) is a computer-based test and is Arizona’s statewide achievement test. AzMERIT, which is based on more rigorous standards, provides a better indicator of what students have learned during the school year, and measures if students are on track to be college and career ready upon graduation from high school.
Students in Grades 3 - 8 take the AzMERIT assessment in English language arts and mathematics at their grade level."

AzMERIT would remain as is.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

It seems surprising to me that a state with a large bilingual population like Arizona would not have translated the title of such a widely used test in official documents, and on official websites....

agree  Robert Forstag: I guess one needs to go with the official translation, but I would have to say it leaves something to be desired....

  -> Yes, probably because the English is similarly long and clumsy. Thanks, Robert.
