Frequently Asked Questions

The Pennsylvania Measures of Student Success and Achievement (PSSA) is a set of standardized tests administered to public school students in grades 3-8 in Pennsylvania to measure proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science.

The PSSA testing window typically falls within March and April each year. Specific dates vary by school district. Check your child’s school or the Pennsylvania Public Education Department (PED) website for the latest schedule.

The PSSA test format varies by grade level and subject, but generally includes multiple-choice questions, constructed response items, and performance tasks designed to assess students’ understanding and application of key concepts.

The PSSA test scores are reported as “scale scores” ranging from 220 to 880 with performance levels: Below Proficient, Approaching Proficient, Proficient, and Advanced.

PSSA provides valuable information about student progress and achievement, helping:

  • Students and parents track progress and identify areas for improvement.
  • Teachers and schools evaluate instructional effectiveness and personalize learning.
  • State officials monitor overall educational performance and inform policy decisions.

Several ways to help your child prepare for the PSSA test include:

  • Review the PSSA test blueprints on the Pennsylvania Public Education Department (PED) website to understand specific skills tested.
