Connecticut Mastery Tests (CMT)

The Connecticut Mastery Tests (CMT) are standardized assessments administered to students in Connecticut public schools to evaluate their understanding and skills in core subjects such as math, reading, writing, and science. These tests help measure student progress, guide instructional decisions, and assess the effectiveness of school programs. Results are used by educators and policymakers to identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement, ultimately supporting efforts to enhance student learning outcomes. The CMT is part of Connecticut's broader educational accountability system and is typically administered annually to students in grades 3 through 8.
