High-Stakes Testing

Parents and the public are fed up with the explosion of high-stakes testing in New Jersey.

What is the difference between the NJSLA and PARCC?

The New Jersey Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA) is a shorter version of the same Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) test.

The test questions are the same and both tests are created by the same company, Pearson.
