And it already is 2015.

Now results the tests being given this spring won't be out until at least summer -- and will be held longer than that from students, parents and teachers, because the states are going to freak out when they see the massive failures of 70 to 95 percent. [/quote]

Here's how it played out in North Carolina this year: (an note that they held on to the test scores until  November so they could figure out how to spin it)

North Carolina’s Department of Public Instruction has been warning the public for weeks that student performance on standardized tests this year will be dramatically lower than in years past, reflecting the state’s move to align with the more rigorous Common Core standards as well as other college and career readiness standards in all subject areas.

Only 32 percent of students in grades 3-8 were proficient in reading and mathematics in 2012-13 — that’s almost a 27 percent drop from 2011-12, when 58.9 percent of students were proficient. The overall composite proficiency score for all state tests is 44.7 percent, down from 77.9 percent in 2011-12, a 33 percent drop.
