       * As part of its emphasis on raising academic standards, the New Jersey Department of Education

         has changed its statewide testing program, implementing a more rigorous test of language arts

         literacy and mathematics at grades 3 and 4 during the 2009 school year.

         Cutscores have been set on the new tests to reflect a more stringent definition of "Proficient" and

         "Advanced Proficient" compared to the previous tests.
