The High School Assessments are end-of-course tests in
English, algebra, biology, and government. While the HSAs
are more challenging than the old Maryland Functional Tests,
they are still minimum skills tests. The HSAs are not college-
level or even college-prep tests. For the most part, they are
tenth-grade-level tests.
