Use tabs
When you see tabs at the upper right of a page or chart, you can click on a tab to get an alternate subject, grade, or view. For instance, in the image below you can choose data for grade 4 or grade 8. When you are viewing a page of a report card, you can choose grade-level graphics, graphics showing scale score or achievement-level results, or graphical views by student groups (where available).
Try it! Move the mouse pointer over this image
to explore how to use tabs.

Download recommended Flash Player and SVG Viewer
Flash
The NAEP website presents certain material in the form of Flash animations. In order to view these animations, you will need to install a Macromedia Flash Player, version 9 or higher. Refer to Macromedia's Flash support center for assistance in working with the Flash Player.
Scalable Vector Graphics
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a W3C recommendation (web standard) for a graphics file format and web development language based on XML. Although many SVG viewers are available, NAEP recommends the Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0, or the use of the native SVG viewer built into Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or higher. If you are using Internet Explorer, visit the Adobe's SVG Page for more information and to download a free viewer. NOTE: The Adobe SVG viewer is not available for the Vista operating system.
