and self-reported at the time of testing that they were scheduled to graduate in 2014. Beginning with the Graduating Class of 2013, all students whose scores are college reportable, both standard and extended time tests, are now included in the report.  \nThis report focuses on:  \nPerformance-student test performance in the context of college readiness  \nAccess-number of your graduates exposed to college entrance testing and the percent of race/ethnicity participation Course Selection-percent of students pursuing a core curriculum  \nCourse Rigor-impact of rigorous coursework on achievement  \nCollege Readiness-percent of students meeting ACT College Readiness Benchmark Scores in each content area Awareness-extent to which student aspirations match performance  \nArticulation-colleges and universities to which your students send test results  \nEach year, test data for a school, district, and the state represents a different cohort of students. ACT encourages educators to focus on trends (3, 5, 10 years), not year-to-year changes. Such changes can represent normal – even expected – fluctuations. On the other hand, trend lines offer more insight into what is happening in a school, district, or the state.  \nFurthermore, ACT encourages educators to measure student performance in the context of college readiness measures. The focus should be on the number and percentage of students who met or exceeded ACT’s College Readiness Benchmark Scores, a measure that is much more meaningful and understandable than an average composite score for a group of students.  \nACT PROFILE REP","cbCain8ig3p1sTN6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain8ig3p1sTN6","pdf",639793,34,"English","# Section I: Executive Summary\n## Percent of Your Students Ready for College-Level Coursework\n## Five Year Trends—Percent of Students Who Met College Readiness Benchmarks\n## Five Year Trends—Average ACT Scores\n## Five Year Trends—Average ACT Scores by Level of Preparation\n## Five Year Trends—Percent and Average Composite Score by Race/Ethnicity\n## Percent of Students in College Readiness Standards Score Ranges\n## Average ACT College Reportable Scores by Test Session Duration\n## Percent of Students Who Met College Readiness Benchmark Scores by Test Session Duration\n# Section II: Academic Achievement\n## ACT Score Distributions, Cumulative Percentages, Averages, and Quartile Values\n## Average ACT Composite Scores for Race/Ethnicity by Level of Preparation\n## Average ACT Scores by Race/Ethnicity\n## Percent of Students in College Readiness Standards Score Ranges\n## Average ACT Scores by Gender\n## Percent of Students Who Met College Readiness Benchmark Scores by Gender\n## College Readiness Benchmark Percent and Average ACT Scores by Overall High School Curriculum","[{\"question\":\"What population and testing context does the ACT Profile Report-State use for Massachusetts Graduating Class 2014?\",\"answer\":\"The report covers 2014 graduating seniors who took the ACT as sophomores, juniors, or seniors and self-reported at the time of testing that they were scheduled to graduate in 2014.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the report emphasize benchmark scores instead of only average composite scores?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on the number and percentage of students meeting or exceeding ACT College Readiness Benchmark Scores because this measure is described as more meaningful and understandable than average composite scores.\"},{\"question\":\"How does ACT define the ACT College Readiness Benchmark Scores and what do they indicate?\",\"answer\":\"A benchmark score is the minimum ACT subject-area test score indicating an estimated probability of earning a B or higher or about a 75% chance of earning a C or higher in corresponding credit-bearing college courses.
