    4. What percent of all Tennessee ACT-tested students are female?

    6. What are the features of the ACT? Based on the ACT National Curriculum Survey Research-based College Readiness Benchmark Scores Scores tied to empirically derived College Readiness Standards

    7. EXPLORE includes a career section that shows students which careers match their interests. EXPLORE introduces 8th and 9th graders to career options that are relevant to them.

    8. Students with an ACT Science test score of 24 or higher are more than 50% likely to earn a grade of B or higher in entry-level College Biology? 20% of last year’s Tennessee graduates achieved a score of 24 or higher.

    9. Did you know… 47% of the nation’s high school graduates in 2010 – approximately 1.57 million students – took the ACT This was an all time record high number of total graduates taking the ACT!

    11. EXPLORE, PLAN, and the ACT are all on a common score scale making it easy to measure student growth over time.

    12. National Curriculum Survey Every three to five years, ACT conducts the ACT National Curriculum Survey initiative to ensure its curriculum-based assessment tools accurately measure the skills high school teachers teach and instructors of entry-level college courses expect. The ACT National Curriculum Survey comprises a comprehensive review of state educational standards documents, survey of educators, and consultation with content area experts across the curriculum.

    13. ACT’s nationwide survey Identifies current instructional practices and postsecondary expectations Ensures ACT assessment specifications are up-to-date and reflect the knowledge and skills needed for college readiness National Curriculum Survey Released in January 2010

    15. Students with an ACT Math test score of 22 or higher are more than 50% likely to earn a grade of B or higher in entry-level College Algebra? 27% of last year’s Tennessee graduates achieved a score of 22 or higher.

    16. What was the average National ACT Writing score for the 2010 grad class?

    20. What are the components of the ACT? Tests of academic achievement in English, mathematics, reading, science, and writing (optional) High school grades and courses Student Profile Section Career Interest Inventory

    21. Students with an ACT Reading test score of 21 or higher are more than 50% likely to earn a grade of B or higher in entry-level College Social Sciences Courses? 43% of last year’s Tennessee graduates achieved a score of 21 or higher.

    22. Which Students Are in Your 2010 Graduating Senior ACT Report Students who tested during their sophomore, junior, or senior year, and . . . Who said they would graduate 2010 Most recent score only Students with standard time only Scores of juniors who tested April 2019 with standard time unless tested again during 2009-2010
