Beginning in spring 2005,
the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) will
measure the achievement of grade 11 students relative to
the Illinois Learning Standards for
reading,
mathematics, and
science.
The PSAE includes three
components: (1) an ISBE-developed science assessment;
(2) the
ACT Assessment,
which includes reading, English, mathematics, and
science tests; and (3) two
WorkKeys
assessments.
