=Connecticut Academic Performance Test, 3rd Generation (CAPT)= The **Connecticut Academic Performance Test**, or simply the **CAPT**, is a state-mandated standardized test administered by the Connecticut State Board of Education that all public school students in Connecticut must take. Students in some districts must pass to graduate high school. The test is proctored to all students in their sophomore year; if the state goal is not met, students must retake the sections they do not pass until they meet goal. Students take the test in March. The test covers the four curricular subjects—mathematics, reading, writing, and science—in nine individual sessions, which are taken over a period of 9 days. Prior to testing, the state of Connecticut requires that students take scaled practice tests to allow them to be at ease when they take the real CAPT. The mock tests are actually prior CAPT tests that the state has released.
