BOSTON, MA – Massachusetts students will soon be facing a new standardized test after the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education voted to combine elements of the existing MCAS test with another test aligned with Common Core state standards.

Approval of the hybrid test came on an 8 – 3 vote Tuesday after two years of debate on whether to replace the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System test with the PARCC test.
