This is the fourth annual report on state exit exams produced by the Center on Education
Policy, an independent advocate for public education in Washington, D.C. It is a product of the
Center's comprehensive multi-year study of exit exams and is based on information we collected
from 25 states with current or planned exit exams, on our own research, and on our review of
other major research in this field. The report aims to be a comprehensive review of the status,
characteristics, and effects of exit exams. It emphasizes developments that have occurred and
research findings that have been released or publicized since the Center's August 2004 report,
State High School Exit Exams: A Maturing Reform.
