The Golden State Exams (GSEs) were a family of exams that were administered to qualifying high achieving students in California during the mid 1980s through the early 2000s. The GSEs were designed based on California's curriculum framework.[1] They were authorized in 1983 by Senate Bill 813.[2] The first exams began being offered in 1987.[3] Those who performed well on the exams earned one of the following awards: Recognition, Honors, or High Honors. Collectively, these awards were formally known as the Academic Excellence Awards.[4] The exams were known for their rigorous nature.[2][5][6] Each exam could only be taken once.[4] The following is a timeline of when the various Golden State Exams began being offered:

There was one year (1995) when the only state testing administered in California was that to the high achieving individuals that qualified for the Golden State Exams. In 1998, high school comprehensive exams in "High School Reading/Literature" and "High School Math" became available to all students and school districts under the GSE banner.[3] These two comprehensive exams were later integrated and absorbed into the California Standards Tests (CSTs).[5]

In 2003, the GSE subject tests were discontinued due to budget cuts.[7]

Academic Excellence Awards

Los estudiantes que recibieron un Reconocimiento, Honores o un Premio a la Excelencia Académica con Altos Honores recibieron un certificado y una anotación en su expediente académico que especificaba el nivel de logro. Aquellos que recibieron Honores o Altos Honores recibieron además sellos dorados en su diploma que especificaban el nivel de logro. [ 4 ] Los resultados del Examen Estatal de Química Golden State de 1993 proporcionan un ejemplo de la distribución de las calificaciones. De la población total de estudiantes de secundaria de California en 1993, incluidos 1.424.094 estudiantes de secundaria pública, solo 30.429 calificaron y realizaron el Examen Estatal de Química Golden State de 1993. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] De esos 30.429 estudiantes, 1.167 (4%) obtuvieron Altos Honores, 1.950 (6%) obtuvieron Honores y 6.922 (23%) obtuvieron Reconocimiento. [ 9 ]
