Key Assessment Facts
PSSA will be an English Language Arts assessment – both reading and writing (Grades 3 -8).
Keystone Exams will replace PSSA at Grade 11 in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In addition a Biology Keystone Exam will be administered.
Revised PSSA increases rigor and difficulty –---
