The Illinois State Board of Education has decided to review the slate of standardized tests students take, to try to make sure the exams align with each other.
Currently, kindergarteners are evaluated by one test, then elementary students with another, and high school juniors with a third. All those tests measure different concepts, making it difficult to see where the curriculum needs to be improved.
Amanda Elliott, legislative affairs director with the state board, says the current system causes many districts to implement additional tests.
