Every WASL question goes through extensive analysis by a Bias and Cultural Fairness Committee of specially trained educators before inclusion. Before any question "counts" on the WASL, each question goes through review to ensure there is no cultural bias in the exam. Each question also is given a trial run with students to make sure the question does not pose special difficulty for students from different backgrounds.

The WASL includes multiple-choice, short-answer and essay questions. In addition to demonstrating content knowledge, students are also expected to apply their thinking skills to solve problems and explain their answers.

Washington educators helped build the WASL and continue to refine it. They review every question for content quality and its relation to the state's learning standards.
