State Tests
 
Every state at the end of the school year is supposed to take a special test that gets sent to the state. In ******ia, they are called SOL tests (******ia Standards of Learning). Today, I took my reading SOL. It was boring. Are you taking one or have you taken one already?

Edit: My 1,500th post!

I took my STAR test. Boring. And challenging. But still finished before everyone!

Maryland had the High School Assessment tests(HSA's). You had Reading and Math, and had to pass both in order to graduate. You start taking them in middle school and retake them every year until you pass them. I don't think I had any problem passing them back in middle school, which gave me a few days off every year afterwards :)

Is it those tests where they test you on certain subjects like Science, Math, Reading, and Social Studies? I only have to take those every certain amount of years.

Took them a few months ago. Nevada Proficiency Exams. Easy as ****. I got "exceeds standards" in everything, and 500/500 in reading >.< There was also math and science.

I don't know why but I barley passed those haha. They were so easy though. Only scored an 1900 or something on all of them. I think it's like 1600 to pass...

By the way HSAs also including biology and social studies which you take in like 10th or 9th grade.

On a sidenote: Number 1 school in Maryland according to US News and World Report!

When I went to school we had HSE when you get to year 12 and then NAPLEN every 2 years, why is America so strict about education,

Are they new? I definitely know Reading and Math were the only ones needed to graduate(they put the pass/fail of those two tests on each report card).

Took the MSP on the computer. Easy since they included a table to show how to find volume and other stuff.

We do MAP testing.. I have no idea what it stands for though.

Didn't test booklets have a glossary for stuff like that(volume and other things) in the back?

The STAR test this year for high school apparently has very funny stories.
