  3. How do we define College and Career Readiness? The acquisition of the knowledge and skills a student needs to enroll in and succeed in credit-bearing first-year coursesat a postsecondary institution (such as a two- or four-year college, trade school, or technical school) without the need for remediation.

  4. What do my ACT benchmark scores mean to me? Why these courses? What do we mean by “a high probability of success?” • English Composition, College Algebra, and Biology are the first credit-bearing courses most commonly taken by first-year college students. Course placement data also show that reading achievement is most closely aligned with success in credit-bearing courses in college. • Students who meet a Benchmark on the ACT or ACT Compass have approximately a 50% chance of earning a B or better and approximately a 75 percent chance of earning a C or better in the corresponding college course or courses.
