Some schools have shifted back toward requiring standardized testing. Notable schools that have reinstated the SAT/ACT requirements or recommendations to test include Stanford, U of Tennessee, U of Texas at Austin, Purdue, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, MIT, Caltech, US Air Force Academy, US Military Academy, US Naval Academy, and some entire state public university systems.
New ACT test options include section retesting, superscoring, and results in two-days when testing online.

Get local information about state testing within the Wenatchee School District on this web page. OSPI directs school districts to administer the following assessments. More information is available on the OSPI State Testing web page.
- Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA): English language arts (ELA) and math tests for students in grades 3–8 and 10 for federal and state accountability. The high school ELA and math assessments can be used to meet a student's graduation pathway requirement; the score is used to update the High School and Beyond Plan.
- Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS): Science test for grades 5, 8, and 11 required for federal and state accountability.
- Washington - Access to Instruction and Measurement (WA-AIM): ELA, math, and science alternate assessments for students in grades 3–11 with significant cognitive disabilities documented in their Individualized Education Program (IEP) for federal and state accountability. The high school ELA and math assessments can be used to meet a student's graduation pathway requirement. To support the student, this assessment is given instead of SBA and WCAS.
- Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Skills (WaKIDS): This program helps bring families, teachers, and early learning providers together to support each Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten student's learning and transition into public schools.
- WIDA Screener: Used to determine initial eligibility for English language development (ELD) services for English learners in grades K–12.
- Annual WIDA ACCESS Assessments: For all students in grades K–12 who qualify for English language development (ELD) services to determine which students remain eligible to continue receiving ELD services.
- WIDA Alternate ACCESS: For students in grades K–12 with significant cognitive disabilities who qualify for English language development (ELD) services to determine which students remain eligible to continue receiving ELD services.
- National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP): NAEP is a national test that measures what students across the country know and can do in 10 subject areas, including mathematics, reading, writing, and science. Federal law requires every state to give the NAEP in reading and math at grades 4 and 8 every two years.
- OSPI-Developed Assessments (formerly CBAs) and OSPI-Developed Performance Assessments (formerly CBPAs): The state develops classroom-based assessments for the Arts, Educational Technology, Health and Physical Education, and Social Studies based on the state's learning standards to help guide day-to-day instruction. State curriculum specialists create tasks and questions that model good assessments and provide them to local school districts.
