Keystone Exams Kick In Monday

11.28.12 | Sarah Harnisch

School districts statewide in Pennsylvania will begin administring their first Keystone state exams next week in Math, English and Science. The first wave of exams begins Monday: tests in Algebra 1, Literature and Biology will be taken by all 11th graders. For juniors, the exams replace the PSSA's and will not affect their academic records. But this year's 8th graders will need to pass all three Keystones by their senior year in 2017 to earn a high school diploma.
