Upon passing the exam, testers receive a legal, high school equivalency certificate and official transcript containing a score report, [1] which can be used to enroll in college early.

The primary objective of the PSAA is to help schools improve the academic achievement of all students. From the 1970s, California students took the same statewide test, called the California Assessment Program (CAP). Many districts required additional tests, such as CTBS (California Test of Basic Skills) during that time.
The test was originally intended to be required of students graduating in 2004, but full implementation was delayed until the class of 2006. Approximately 90% of students ultimately passed by the end of the 2005-2006 school year. [2] In 2010, 81% of 10th graders passed each of the two sections on their first try. [3]

However, in 2010, due to a lack of funding, the framers of the Master Plan limited eligibility admission to UC and CSU.
