New Exams◦ The new PSSA Exams were administered in the
Spring of 2015 to students in Grades 3 – 8.
Exams were fully aligned to new, more rigorous PA Core Standards.
The 2015 PSSA exams measured different content than previously administered PSSAs exams.
The PSSA Reading Exam was changed to the PSSA English Language Arts (ELA) exam, which tests both reading and writing.
Some material was tested a full grade level earlier than under the previous Academic Content Standards.

Raising the Bar◦ The State Board of Education approved new “cut off
scores” for determining student performance.
A committee of 58 Pennsylvania educators developed the cut off scores in June 2015.
◦ The new cut off scores have resulted in fewer students scoring proficient and advanced across Pennsylvania.
◦ Student performance on the new PSSA Exams can not be compared to performance on prior PSSAExams.

“It isn’t useful to compare these student results directly to past results, because the tests are different. Student performance hasn’t changed, but the test has changed considerably in some grades.”
-- Nicole Reigelman
Pennsylvania Department of Education Press Secretary
