Washington State is working with them to ensure that the new system does not hurt students. The Competency-Based Admissions Standards project is translating current standards from the traditional language of years , to the language of competencies, or what students know and can do. The new standards don't affect home-schooled students or students of private schools. The current standards still will be used to evaluate those students. The HECB has adopted competency-based admissions standards in English, mathematics, science, and world languages.
Work continues on the development of standards in social science and the arts.
