> (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, the State Board of Education may not require a student who has successfully completed the credit requirements prescribed by paragraph (a) of this subsection or by rule of the board to demonstrate proficiency in any skill or academic content area.
Reading the statute doesn’t give any context. Also, people incorrectly and misleadingly quote snippets of law all the time on the internet because they don’t know how to read and interpret a statute.
My experience with standardized exit testing in California was just that all the relevant classes would temporarily pause teaching more advanced material to review the more basic material that was on the exams.
Perhaps the experience was more useful to those with more marginal academic retention, but inserting standardized tests doesn't inherently improve a student's education.
