Prairie State Achievement Examination
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) was a two-day standardized test taken by all High School Juniors in the U.S. state of Illinois. On the first day, students take the ACT, and on the second day, a WorkKeys examination and Illinois State Board of Education-developed science examination.[1] The test is no longer administered in Illinois schools; however, it was required for all Illinois High School Students from 2001-2014.[2]
Areas of Assessment
The PSAE attempted to assess students on the following areas:[3]
- Math
- Reading
- Science
- Writing
Exemptions
A student was required to take the PSAE to achieve a high school diploma, unless he or she met one of the following requirements:[1]
- The student’s Individualized Education Program is incompatible with the PSAE, and the test cannot be modified to comply. In this case, the student takes the Illinois Alternate Assessment instead.
- The student is not proficient in English. In this case the student takes the Illinois Measure of Annual Growth in English instead.
- The student is enrolled in an alternative Education program, including an adult education program, or high school equivalency certificates.
