†Not applicable.

1 Testing accommodations (e.g., extended time, small group testing) for children with disabilities and limited-English-proficient students were not permitted.

2 The 2005 Grade 12 Mathematics Assessment was based on a new framework. The assessment includes more questions on algebra, data analysis, and probability to reflect changes in high school mathematics standards and coursework. Results could not be placed on the old National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scale and could not be directly compared with previous years; therefore, information on previous assessments are not shown. For more information on NAEP Grade 12 Mathematics Assessments, see http://www.nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/mathematics/.
