The New Jersey Department of Education coordinates the development and implementation of New Jersey’s statewide assessments to measure student attainment of New Jersey's Student Learning Standards.
The State of New Jersey ended its membership of the interstate consortium that produced the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments. While the computer-based delivery platform from Pearson will remain the same, the state’s mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments are no longer be called Partnership for Assessment of College and Career Readiness (PARCC). The statewide assessments for ELA and mathematics are now called: • New Jersey Student Learning Assessments-ELA (NJSLA-ELA) • New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-Mathematics (NJSLA-M).
A reduction in the Length and Time of the tests begin with the Spring 2019 statewide assessment, the item counts (i.e., test questions) will be reduced, resulting in fewer units for ELA. The number of units for ELA grades 9-11, will be reduced from three units to two units, each ninety minutes in length.
For mathematics, the item counts are also reduced, resulting in fewer units. The high school mathematics assessments are reduced from three units to two units of 90 minutes each.
