New exams could replace 11th grade PSSAs

The state Board of Education chairman announced Thursday that he would like to scrap 11th grade PSSAs and replace them with end of course exams in high school. The state approved tests would be taken after students completed their courses instead of arbitrarily in the 11th grade. He said they could replace existing final exams and would cut down on testing time. Districts could still use a local exam as long as it was validated and proven to align with state standards.
What do you think of the idea?
