NJSLA Information
New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-ELA (NJSLA-ELA) Program
The spring 2019 statewide assessment in ELA and math will be the NJSLA-ELA/M. The number of test items will be reduced on all ELA and mathematics state assessments beginning with the spring 2019 administration, resulting in fewer units on most state assessments as compared to prior years. The NJSLA-ELA/M measure the same constructs and use the same item banks as the previous assessments. As a result, the current assessments support reporting using the same scale scores and performance levels as in prior years.

New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-Mathematics (NJSLA-M) Programs
The New Jersey Student Learning Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy (NJSLA-ELA) and for Mathematics (NJSLA-M) measures the extent to which students are, or on track to being college or career ready in each of the two respective areas. The test in English Language Arts/Literacy assesses student proficiency in reading and comprehending a range of grade appropriate material independently. It also provides a measure of how effectively a student writes when using and/or analyzing sources. The test in Mathematics measures student competencies in the major and additional/supporting content in mathematics for grade or course, as well as student grade-appropriate mathematical reasoning and modeling skills. Additional information for the assessments in the above areas can be found on the Office of Assessments website.
New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-Science (NJSLA-S) Program
New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-Science (NJSLA-S) Program
The New Jersey Student Learning Assessment for Science (NJSLA-S) replaces the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) for Science and the New Jersey Biology Competency Test (NJBCT). This new assessment measures student proficiency in science according to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. These standards require schools to teach students to use science and engineering practices, to make sense of phenomena, and to design solutions to problems. The NJSLA-S uses the same familiar testing platform that NJSLA-ELA and NJSLA-M uses.
