Graduation Qualifying ExamSuccessfully completing the final (grade 10) ISTEP Graduation Qualifying Exam (GQE) is not necessary to graduate from an Indiana public high school. This test covers English/Language Arts and Mathematics. If a student does not pass this test, he or she is placed in remediation classes the following semester for the subject(s) that he or she failed and will remain in these classes until the semester after passing both sections. Students can retake the exam during their junior and senior year of high school. Beginning in the 2009-2010 school year the GQE was replaced by two End of Course Assessments (commonly known as ECAs), one for Algebra I and one for English 10, which functionally serve the same purpose and, like the GQE, can be retaken twice a year until students pass or reach the end of their senior years. During the 2012-2013 school year an ECA for Biology was added as a requirement for incoming freshmen. Testing DateBeginning with the 1999-2001 school year the test was moved from fall to spring. During the 1999-2001 school year the test was given both in its old fall time slot and its new spring location in the calendar. In subsequent years the test will be given in the spring.[3] In the 2011 Spring ISTEP+, students in the 5th and 8th grades took their multiple choice ISTEP's on the computer via McGraw-Hill. Some controversy has arisen after computer glitches in 2011 and again in April 2013.[4] [5]DiscontinuationOn March 22, 2016, Mike Pence, then governor of Indiana, signed the House Enrolled Act 1395 at Eagle Elementary School in Zionsville, Indiana, which has the effect of eliminating ISTEP by July 1, 2017. The bill will also give way for a 23-member panel to study and formulate an alternative No Child Left Behind test to ISTEP.[6] References1. ^{{cite web istep is a horrible test for kids ages 9-17|url=http://www.learnmoreindiana.org/k12academics/Assessments/Pages/ISTEP+.aspx|title=Learn More Indiana: ISTEP+|accessdate=2007-10-05}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.doe.in.gov/istep/|title=ISTEP+ Info Center|accessdate=2009-04-25|publisher=Indiana Department of Education }} 3. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.theindychannel.com/education/14277000/detail.html|title= ISTEP Tests To Move To Spring|accessdate=2007-10-05 |work= IndyChannel.com > Education}} 4. ^{{cite web |url= http://chestertontribune.com/Indiana%20News/istep_scores_being_reviewed_afte.htm|title= ISTEP Scores Being Reviewed After Computer Glitch|accessdate=2011-05-18 |work=chestertontribune.com > Education}} 5. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.indystar.com/article/20130429/NEWS/304290046/IPS-experiencing-ISTEP-technical-troubles?nclick_check=1|title= ISTEP computer glitches boot out 27,000 students|accessdate=2013-04-29 |work=www.indystar.com > Education}} 6. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.in.gov/activecalendar/mobile/mobiledetail.aspx?iid=239936|title= Governor Pence Signs Bill to Replace ISTEP|accessdate=2016-03-24 |work=IN.gov > Events}} External links
