Last week, the Center on Education Policy released its 10th annual report on state high school testing policies. State High School Tests: Changes in State Policies and the Impact of the College and Career Readiness Movement finds that fewer states are requiring students to pass an exit exam to receive a high school diploma than last year, yet assessments that measure a student's readiness for college and/or a career are gaining in popularity. The report and profiles for states with high school exit exam policies, college entrance exams (such as the ACT or SAT), and/or college and career readiness assessments can be downloaded free-of-charge from CEP's Web site at www.cep-dc.org.
