- Review Curriculum Survey; Grade appropriate testing
- The ACT in its present format was introduced in 1989 on a scale of 1-36. Plan was introduced in 1987 on a scale of 1-32. EXPLORE became fully operational in the early 1990s on a scale of 1-25. We had three tests that measured common skills in a common format, but we had three different score scales. To help educators better track their students academic development, we put PLAN on ACT’s score scale and EXPLORE on PLAN’s score scale. We did not but EXPLORE on ACT’s score scale. We can predict an ACT score from PLAN. We can predict a PLAN score from EXPLORE. But, we will not predict an ACT score from EXPLORE.
- Participants can review the row of your choice and identify the grade level by which students should master the skills in that row. I usually choose row 16-19. ACT does not put a grade level on any College Readiness Standards skill range. You can discuss here about using the Standards for setting goals for the school. Where do they think their students should be scoring when they take PLAN? When they take the ACT? In the Standards booklet, note that the skills in the 33-36 range are measured on ACT only; the skills in the 28-32 range are measured on PLAN and the ACT, but not on EXPLORE. Also note that on the Mathematics pages, the last column, Functions, is measured on the ACT only. Scattered throughout the Mathematics sections will be skills marked with * and + to indicate they are not measured on EXPLORE and/or PLAN. Therefore, the one booklet can be used to describe the skills measured on all three tests, in the designated score ranges.
- College Readiness Benchmark Scores offer a different (and unrelated) measure of student success on EXPLORE, PLAN, or the ACT than that provided by National norms. Rather than comparing students’ test scores to that of other students, the Benchmark Scores compare student performance against a measure of college readiness. Students that meet Benchmark Scores are likely on track to be successful in an entry level college course in that subject area (provided students continue with a similar level of commitment to coursework and study habits). College Readiness Benchmark Scores can be used to help students understand the areas in which they need to improve to be prepared for college-level work. Benchmark scores offer a common language that can be used to help define “college readiness” Can be used to relate state standards to postsecondary expectations State-specific College Readiness Benchmarks can be identified Again, empirically derived based on student performance in college courses
- Strategies for success included identify students who were not ready for high school course work and offering remediation and using the data to encourage more students to take rigorous course work.
- All schools and districts should have a link on their website for parents and students to accesses the PLAN and EXPLORE pages – BEFORE they ever take the test. Motivation is important for successful testing
