Many public school students are presently involved in the annual Pennsylvania state assessment tests. It is a time of stress for many of them. It is very time consuming and costly but our state officials thinks it is necessary and beneficial. That is a discussion for another time. But I thought that it would be good for you to take a similar test, so I am presenting you with eleven questions on a variety of topics. I will provide the answers for you in about two days. In the meantime, take the test and keep track of your answers. A score of ten or eleven means you are proficient. Eight or nine indicates satisfactory. Six or seven rates you as basic. Anything less than six is remedial. So give it a try and you can grade it yourself. Here we go!
