|Testing and Results
Recognizing the need to coordinate and streamline school testing, the CSU
worked with the public schools, the State Board of Education (SBE) and the California
Department of Education (CDE) to connect its college entry readiness standards in English
and mathematics to existing high school tests. Beginning in 2001, under the guidance of
SB 233, CSU faculty have succeeded in identifying the test items required to assess CSU
readiness from existing school tests—namely, the 11th grade California Standards Tests (
CSTs) in English and mathematics.
