HB1752

In preliminary provisions, providing for Keystone Exam alternative feasibility study.

Chamber Passed·5/4/26

Pennsylvania HB1752 mandates a study on using ACT and SAT as alternatives to Keystone Exams for high school students.

Pennsylvania HB1752 requires the Secretary of Education to commission an independent study on the feasibility of using the ACT and SAT as alternatives to the current Statewide Keystone Exams in literature, algebra I, and biology. The study will evaluate the alignment of these standardized tests with Pennsylvania's academic standards, their ability to provide comparable data on student achievement, and whether they meet technical quality criteria. The findings will be reported to the Governor and relevant legislative committees within a year of the bill's enactment.
