The correlation between the two scores could help predict which of their students would score as collegeready on the ACCUPLACER test by their NWEA scores. The school started administering the ACCUPLACER tests to classify students as college ready in 2022-2023. Students previously at Maine Virtual Academy hadNWEA scores, and the question addressed is how theNWEA scores correlated to ACCUPLACER scores. This is important when considering what interventions are necessary to prepare students for their postsecondary goals, whether their plans include college or a career. The data analysis of 99 high school students in grades 11 and 12 revealed a significant statistical correlation between the NWEA scores and the ACCUPLACER scores in both Reading and Math. The NWEA scores of a student can be used to predict their college readiness.  \nKeywords: NWEA, ACCUPLACER, college-readiness  \nDOI: 10.7176/JEP/14-6-14  \nPublication date: February 28th 2023  \n1. Introduction  \nThe purpose of this research is to determine if there is a correlation between the Northwest Evaluation Association's (NWEA) benchmark assessment (Measure of Academic Progress [MAP]) scores and the score a student receiveson the College Board's ACCUPLACER Reading and Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics test referred to as the \"math\" test throughout this report, and differences between test scores. Maine Virtual Academy (MEVA) has administered the ACCUPLACER test to all graduating students during the 2022-2023 school year. MEVA administers the NWEA to all students in grades 7-11 three times a year, fall, winter, and spring. A student's NWEA score and ACCUPLACER score correlate strongly. MEVA uses the following cut scores to determine college readiness on the ACCUPLACER test, 239 or above in Reading and 226 or above in math. The Maine Charter School Commission (MCSC) set the cut scores in the 2022 Performance Framework for Maine Virtual Academy (MCSC, 2022) .  \nThe NWEA is a nationally normed benchmark assessment that analyzes a student's growth over each testing administration (Northwest Evaluation Association, 2022). NWEA uses responses from over 11 million anonymous student assessment data to create the national norms for comparing schools and student pools (Northwest Evaluation Association, 2022). The assessment provides an RIT score, allowing teachers to compare their students'progress to other students in the nation. The assessment adapts to how the student responds to each question (Northwest Evaluation Association, 2022) . The adaptability allows for a more accurate analysis of the student's current skills in mathematics, Reading, and language usage.  \nThe College Board's ACCUPLACER test is used as a placement test in postsecondary education. Colleges use the scores to determine which level of mathematics or English classes to place students in. The\"ACCUPLACER is a series of tests that evaluate students' skills in reading, writing, and math to help college administrators place them in courses that match their skills\" (College Board, 2023a) . Maine Virtual Academy administers the Reading and Math tests to all graduating students. Each test is comprised of 20 questions. The ACCUPLACER tests are computer adaptive. The questions that students answer are based on their answers to the previous questi","cbCaijzHVMYXmhxa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijzHVMYXmhxa","pdf",487306,"English","# Introduction\n# Methods\n## Participants\n## Instrumentation\n## The Northwest Evaluation Association’s Benchmark Assessment","[{\"question\":\"What relationship does the study test between NWEA and ACCUPLACER?\",\"answer\":\"The study evaluates whether students’ NWEA MAP benchmark assessment scores correlate with their ACCUPLACER Reading and Math scores, including differences between test results.\"},{\"question\":\"How were students selected for the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Maine Virtual Academy administered ACCUPLACER to 128 graduating students in 2022–2023; students lacking an ACCUPLACER score or a recent NWEA score were excluded from the analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results suggest for predicting college readiness?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis found significant correlations between NWEA scores and ACCUPLACER scores in both Reading and Math, indicating NWEA scores can be used to predict college readiness classifications on ACCUPLACER.\"}]","Comparing Northwest Evaluation Association’s Benchmark Assessment Scores to College Board’s ACCUPLACER Scores - Is There A Correlation? | PDF",15]
