What do the benchmarks

mean?According to the ACT site, a benchmark of 22 on the mathematicssection, a 24 on the science section means

astudent has approximately a 50% chance ofearning a B or better and 75% chance ofearning a C or better in an equivalent

college course.

Page 52: What makes your students successful their first year in college? Is it the facts they learned in your classroom, or the skills?

Answer the easy

questions firstDon’t forget to

mark—in the test booklet—the

questions you skip

Page 53: What makes your students successful their first year in college? Is it the facts they learned in your classroom, or the skills?

Answer ALL the Questions

There is no penalty for guessing and no penalty for wrong answers! Therefore,

guess when all else fails and guess consistently!

Page 54: What makes your students successful their first year in college? Is it the facts they learned in your classroom, or the skills?

Read Each Problem Carefully

• You don’t necessarily have to use all the information you are given

• There are “Cannot be determined from the given information” problems

Page 55: What makes your students successful their first year in college? Is it the facts they learned in your classroom, or the skills?

Look for clues in the answer

choices•Sometimes just substituting answer choices will yield a correct answer

•This strategy is time consuming!

Summative Assessment

• Use ACT items from the ACT site and The Real ACT Prep Guide on each unit assessment

• Label the section ACT Style Questions

• Teacher and student monitor progress on each question

Page 63: What makes your students successful their first year in college? Is it the facts they learned in your classroom, or the skills?

Integration• Integrate more algebra in

geometry• Integrate more science

examples while teaching probability and statistics

• Science incorporate data interpretation in all units

their average ACT scores from an 18 to

In math it’s not about the answer to the question,

rather the process!In science, it’s about “real” practice on data

interpretation!

Bell ringers • Answer isn’t part of discussion• Focus is on the process only• This isn’t easy for students or

teachers• Question(s) does not always have

to fit the content• 10 minutes or less• Department/school “buy in”• Main strategy and used
