Early WASL testing option for 2006
Jan 20, 2003 -- The Seattle Times reports:Starting next year, any high-school freshman who wants to take the 10th-grade Washington Assessment of Student Learning a year early can do so.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry Bergeson announced yesterday that she will offer that option in spring 2006 as a way to ease pressure on students by giving them more control over when they take the state test.
"It will be kind of a PSAT for the WASL," said Bergeson, referring to the Preliminary SAT, used to help prepare students for the SAT college-admissions exam. But if freshmen pass any one of the four subjects on the WASL — reading, writing, math and science — they won't have to retake that subject on the 10th-grade test.
