A national push to make public schools more rigorous and hold teachers more accountable has led to a vast expansion of testing in kindergarten.
More exams are on the way including a test meant to determine whether five year-olds are on track to succeed in college and a career.

At least 25 states now mandate at least one formal assessment during kindergarten.
