ABOUT NJSLA TEST
NJSLA or “New Jersey Student Learning Assessment” is a set of assessments that measure whether students are on track to be successful in college and their careers. These high quality, computer-based K–12 assessments in Mathematics and English Language Arts/Literacy give teachers, schools, students, and parents better information whether students are on track in their learning and for success after high school, and tools to help teachers customize learning to meet student needs.
It is designed to give your school information about how well your children are achieving in the areas required by the Common Core Standards.
The NJSLA / NJGPA assessments cover two courses – English language arts/literacy and mathematics – for students between Grade 3 and Grade 11. These exams are intended to be used as indicators of student needs and progress for teachers to identify and address
The exact duration of the test depends on the grade and subject. Please see NJSLA / NJGPA Duration (will open in a new window) for exact duration.
There will be two major releases of the Practice Test as follows:
A Performance based Assessment (PBA) component, administered after approximately 75% of the school year, and
An End of Year assessment (EOY) component, administered after approximately 90% of the school year. The exact dates are not published yet.
Below are more details on the two releases of NJSLA / NJGPA:
Performance based Assessment
English Language Arts/Literacy: Grades 3-11 Performance Based tests
Mathematics: Grades 3-8 Performance Based tests in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry
At each grade level the Performance Based Assessment component will require five sessions – three sessions for ELA/Literacy and two sessions for Mathematics.
End of Year Assessment
English Language Arts/Literacy: Grades 3-11 End of Year tests
Mathematics: Grades 3-8, Algebra I and Geometry End of Year tests
The End of Year component at each grade level will require four sessions – two sessions for ELA/Literacy and two
sessions for Mathematics.
NJSLA / NJGPA scored have to be reviewed in 4 steps as follows:
STEP 1: Overall Performance
Your student’s overall score (out of a possible 850) and performance level (1-5) gives a quick glimpse of whether he or she is on-track with grade-level expectations. Level 1 indicates the greatest need for improvement and Level 5 indicates the strongest performance.
STEP 2: Performance Levels
The color-coded key next to the overall performance information provides details on each of the different performance levels. They describe how well students met grade-level expectations.
STEP 3: Score Graph
The colored graph shows the score ranges for each performance level and where your child’s score falls within that range, indicating how close your child is to the next level. This section also shows how your student is performing compared to students in the same school, as well as across the district, state, and, in some states, across the states administering the NJSLA / NJGPA test.
STEP 4: Score Breakdown
On page two, the English language arts report will show your student’s overall performance in reading and writing, as well as your child’s numerical score for a sub-set of questions in those categories. You will also receive information about your child’s performance on specific skills within English language arts, so you can see where your student is excelling or needs additional support. Each area includes a description of the skills needed to demonstrate a clear understanding of grade-level standards.

OZAIR
Ozair - Math English and Science Instructor
Hi, I’m Ozair and I have a major in Physics and minor in Math. I started tutoring students in 2021 while successfully developing essential skills to prepare students for topics they may struggle with. I teach students further and develop their passion for subjects such as Math, English, and Science.
Over the years, I’ve realized the importance of education and seeking knowledge and hence want to develop my future for continuing to educate students. My teaching style is to consistently ask the students questions that lead them to further understand the subject they are learning. I also like to have casual conversation outside the realm of education with many students to further their enthusiasm for the environment and the overall topic they are learning. My end goal with tutoring is to further the student’s passion for a subject while also developing a strong mindset/intellect for that student to succeed in the future.
