ACT’s Definition of College and Career Readiness
College and Career Readiness is the level of preparation a student needs to be equipped to enroll and succeed – without remediation – in a credit-bearing, first-year course at a two-year or four-year institution, trade school, or technical school.
www.act.org/commoncore
77
In the next decade, nearly two-thirds of new jobs created in the U.S. will require
some post-secondary education or considerable on-the-job training.
Preparation for College and Career
Prepare all students for success, no matter which path they choose after graduation.

Profile Summary ReportAdditional information
Profile Summary Report also includes:
– Relation between scores and career interests (Tables 5a and 5b)
– Local Items (Table 6)
5151
Item Response Summary Report
Provides data on the item-by-item performance of your students.
Is a very useful tool for curriculum review when used along with the test booklet.

Item Response Summary Report
Given your curriculum, is the percentage of your report group answering each item correctly and consistent with your expectations? Is a large percentage of your report group choosing incorrect response options?

Application ExerciseItem Response Summary Report
Circle the *asterisked numbers (correct answers) for each question.
Use your highlighters to mark only the circled numbers (make a key):
No Mark 75%+
Green 50-74%
Yellow 25-49%
Pink 0-24%

Replace image with what is in the workbook and fix the color coding key to match
Color-Code No Mark 75%+ Green 50-74% Yellow 25-
49% Pink 0-24%

Application ExerciseAnalysis
Look for patterns:
Dramatic differences from the reference group
High percentages clustered around a wrong answer
High percentages of omitted questions
Do any of these occur more frequently for some domains than others?
