PSSA ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS (ELA)

Note: The Spring of 2018 was the fourth assessment based upon the new PA Core standards introduced in 2015, allowing us to
identify trends. The ELA assessment was updated in 2018 to reduce the number of test sections from 4 down to 3, altering the total
points possible in each anchor.
