Illinois drops writing from standardized exam

WLS 890AM
"Illinois will assess only reading and arithmetic now that high school juniors will no longer be tested on their writing skills during standardized exams every spring, according to a published report.
Cutting the writing exams will save about $2.4 million amid the state's budgetary shortfalls.
Writing tests for elementary and middle school students were dropped last year."
