Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program

The Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) is the statewide standardized testing program in Tennessee, designed to evaluate student proficiency in core academic subjects. Administered by the Tennessee Department of Education, TCAP assessments are given to students in grades 3–8 in English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, while high school students take End-of-Course (EOC) exams in subjects such as algebra, geometry, English, biology, and U.S. history. The program aligns with the state’s academic standards and plays a role in measuring student achievement, school performance, and educator effectiveness.
