Notes -
Here's the website for the PSSA which is a set of standardized tests used in Pennsylvania
When I was in school I recall taking them once in elementary school and once in middle school (I think, not 100% sure)? It looks like they've been expanded to be grades 3-8 now. If you scroll down to the "Resource Materials" section there's "Scoring Sampler" document that has testing procedures, grading methodology, sample questions. The "Technical Reports" include sections for the criteria in developing the test questions (which references other publications that were used to decide on the content) and the statistical analysis that was performed. The "Results" section goes back ten years if you're looking for trends.
