Laramie, Wy – State Superintendent Jim McBride announced changes in the statewide student assessment test that he says will
make the exam more reliable and less disruptive to schools.
The 2008 version of the Proficiency Assessments for Wyoming Students will be shorter and taken just once in the spring.
This year's test was done twice at many schools -- once in February and again in March or April.
Many teachers and students complained the test was too long and
cut into classroom instruction time.
