HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s elected fiscal watchdog is urging state officials to end the Keystone Exams, saying they’re not federally required and it’s costing nearly $100 million. Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said Wednesday that Pennsylvania should instead consider using a nationally recognized test.

DePasquale says at least 12 other states have phased out the state-specific tests.
