College and Career Readiness Defined

ACT defines college and career readiness as the acquisition of the knowledge and skills a student needs to enroll and succeed in credit-bearing, first-year courses at a postsecondary institution (such as a two- or four-year college, trade school, or technical school) without the need for remediation.

ACT’s definition of college and career readiness was adopted by the Common Core State Standards Initiative and provides a unifying goal upon which educators and policymakers must now act.

The ACT is designed to assess 11th and 12th graders’ general learning outcomes. The ACT is a curriculum-based educational and career planning tool that assesses mastery of state and college readiness standards. Accepted by all four-year colleges and universities, it is the college entrance test most preferred nationwide.

Key Facts about the ACT Accepted by all four-year colleges and universities in the United

States. The ACT can be a great equalizer for opportunity. Approved for use in state models for No Child Left Behind and

Annual Yearly Progress accountability. Enables school and district leaders to track student performance

with aggregate and standards-based reporting for past high school classes.

Used by many states as an instructional improvement program statewide to improve the college and career readiness of their students.

Raises college awareness and exposure among all students, rather than just self-selected, college-bound students, when used statewide.

Provides user-friendly information about how ACT’s tests align with state standards with the State Standards Match Reports.

Direct link between what students have learned and what they are ready to learn next.

Suggested learning experiences provide links between the Standards in one score range and those in the next (higher) score range.

Ideas for progressing to the next score range demonstrate ways that information learned from standardized test results can be used to inform classroom instruction.

13-15 Standards Perform one-operation computation with whole numbers and decimals Solve problems in one or two steps using whole numbers Perform common conversions (e.g., inches to feet or hours to minutes)

Calculate the average of a list of positive whole numbers Perform a single computation using information from a table or chart

• Recognize equivalent fractions and fractions in lowest terms

Ideas for Progress

Investigate and build understanding of the concept of percentage as a comparison of a part to a whole use multiple operations to solve multistep arithmetic problems

solve real-world problems that involve measures of central tendency (e.g., mean, median, mode) interpret data from a variety of displays (e.g., box-and-whisker plot) and use it along with additional information to solve real-world problems conduct simple probability experiments and represent results using different formats

recognize and apply place value, rounding, and elementary number theory concepts
