About the Test
The Maryland High School Assessments (HSA) are a series of end-of-course tests that cover core academic areas in Science and Government.
The
MISA and
American Government tests consist of Selected Response (SR), Constructed Response (CR), and Technology Enhanced (TE) items. The CR items require students to write rather than select an appropriate response.
The HSAs are intended to meet the testing requirements for Maryland high school graduation as well as the high school testing requirements for federal law.
