This amendment also included the legal basis for the use of a test as a graduation requirement. From through , third-, sixth- and ninth-grade students participated in the Minimum Basic Skills MBS testing program for reading and mathematics. Beginning in , ninth-grade students were required to pass the Minimum Basic Skills Test as one of the requirements for a high school diploma.
Students failing either the reading or mathematics section of the MBS test were provided several retesting opportunities through the eleventh grade to pass both sections. One year later in , the state adopted the Grade 9 High School Proficiency Test HSPT9 --a more challenging assessment to measure the minimum skills in reading, writing and mathematics. The first due-notice administration of the HSPT9 occurred in The first school year that the test was administered as a graduation requirement was While the HSPT11 and EWT were rigorous assessments of essential reading, writing and mathematics skills, the EWT was intended to be used for student placement and program planning only.

The CCCS, which are revised every five years, also define New Jersey's high school graduation requirements and are the basis for assessing the academic achievement of students at grades 3 through This federal legislation required that each state administer annual standards-based assessments to students in grades 3 through 8, and at least once in high school. The federal expectation was that each state would provide tests that were grounded in rigorous state content standards and that would assess student achievement in language arts literacy, mathematics and, at three benchmark grade levels, science.
In response to NCLB requirements and New Jersey's own expectations that students would be reading at grade level by the end of third grade, New Jersey revised its elementary assessment to include a third-grade assessment program. The state's elementary science assessment was first administered to New Jersey's fourth graders in spring , becoming operational the following year. NJ ASK was further expanded in to include grades 5 through 7. The comprehensive waiver allowed the Department to develop a new accountability system to replace the provisions of NCLB , centered on providing support and intervention to the state's lowest-performing schools and those with the largest in-school gaps between subgroups of students.
