Pennsylvania State Test Administration Training (PSTAT)

The Pennsylvania State Test Administration Training (PSTAT) is designed specifically to provide consistent, current, and relevant training to test administrators across the state so that they can successfully and responsibly administer PSSA and/or Keystone Exams in their school or district. 

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), Bureau of Curriculum, Assessment & Instruction, Division of Assessment and Accountability, must ensure responsible and secure administration of state tests in K-12 schools across the state.  Test administration standards must be maintained at the highest level to ensure fair, valid and reliable results on the state tests. Emphasis must be placed on responsible measures in test security and administration consistent across the Commonwealth to ensure these results. To this end, the department has designed this site and associated training to assist LEA's to proactively plan for and responsibly administer state tests. 

This site and the training provided were developed and are maintained by the Bureau of Curriculum, Assessment & Instruction, Division of Assessment and Accountability. For further information about training for test administration or state tests, please contact the Division of Assessment and Accountability at the contact information provided on this site.
