20 ACT District Testing Overview The ACT State and District testing allows state and district leaders the opportunity to provide the ACT to 11th and 12th grade students within their participating schools. Students are able to test on a weekday in the familiar environment of their own school.
21 ACT District Testing Overview Test Options Two options The ACT The ACT with writing All participating schools in the same state/district must use the same test option Test methods Online Paper
22 ACT District Testing Features Test Dates Options One in the fall Allows seniors to receive scores in time to meet college application deadlines Available to seniors and juniors Two in the spring Registration open until August 26 for February 28 test date and October 28 for April 19 test date All schools in same state/district must test in the same window Paper testing includes a scheduled makeup test date Online testing allows for testing to occur during a designated window
23 ACT District Testing Features District Testing Available to public school districts that do not have a state adoption during the same testing season (fall/spring) Minimum 50 testers per district per test date Private schools may participate regardless if the state has a state adoption State may request input on test date or test option District must sign new contract for each participating test season
24 ACT District Testing Features Reports Student Report High School Report Aggregate Reports Student Data File

26 ACT State and District Testing Benefits School Level Compare student achievement to other schools in the district and national norms Help determine curriculum areas in need of improvement Measure student achievement levels on group and individual basis Direct student course placement with additional information provided Help increase score on future tests
27 ACT State and District Testing Benefits District Level Establish baseline information on student performance Promotes a college ready expectation for all students Gain insight on student academic achievement and college readiness levels Benchmark and compare school performance among schools in their district Make informed curriculum decisions and intervention strategies
28 Reporting Updates Overview Reports have been enhanced to allow students and educators to better navigate results and gain meaningful insights Reports are more visually engaging Reports will introduce reporting categories to replace subscore categories Easier for students to determine if they are meeting levels of college and career readiness More than 3,400 students, parents and educators were involved in the research that guided the design of the enhanced reports
29 What s Next for the ACT September 2016 Redesigned Paper Score Reports The following paper reports will have a new design and format: The ACT student score report The ACT high school score report The ACT college score report The ACT high school checklist
30 Redesigned Paper Score Reports
31 What s Next for the ACT Introduction of a comprehensive set of reporting categories for each subject test (English, mathematics, reading, and science) Based on the ACT College Readiness Standards as well as other sets of standards that target college and career readiness Will replace the current subject test subscores (e.g., rhetorical skills, arts/literature) Easier to understand the makeup of any subject test score to better understand a student s strengths and areas for improvement States and districts will receive better aggregate information regarding student achievement
32 New Reporting Categories and ACT Readiness Ranges Each reporting category will show: Total points possible Total points achieved Percent correct The ACT Readiness Ranges The ACT Readiness Range shows where a student who has met the ACT College Readiness Benchmark on the subject test would typically perform on that skill grouping (reporting category) Combination of reporting category scores and the ACT Readiness Ranges will better highlight student areas that require the most additional assistance
33 New Reporting Categories and ACT Readiness Ranges
34 STEM Benchmark ACT has a long-standing commitment to STEM education and skill measurement The ACT is the only college admission exam featuring a science test Indicates the scores required for a high probability of success in credit-bearing STEM college courses Related to achieving longer-term outcomes, including: Earning a cumulative 3.0 GPA or higher Persisting in a STEM major Earning a STEM-related bachelor s degree Achieving a STEM-related career path STEM Benchmark is 26
35 Interest-Major Fit Students Help strengthen or reconsider their current plans Provide opportunity for further college exploration Counselors Starting point for discussing transition to college Conversations with students can vary based on level of alignment Alignment: facilitate discussion of coursework and occupations related to the major Out of alignment: opportunity to discuss the results and suggest alternative majors or educational pathways that help the student achieve their career goals Colleges Better customize admission communication efforts
36 Career Connector The Career Connector visually summarizes a student s work-relevant interests. The compass points are the four basic work tasks shown to underlie the work activities of occupations across the work world: working with people, data, things, and ideas. The Career Connector summarizes the pattern of results from the scales on the ACT Interest Inventory and visually displays it as one or two directions with respect to these compass points. The Career Connector also provides a personalized list of five potential occupations that involve work tasks in this same direction.
37 Writing Test Score Update In fall 2015, ACT introduced enhancements to the design of the ACT writing test. The enhancements provided additional insight on student writing including four domain scores and an overall ACT writing subject score on a 1 36 scale. We heard from customers that the 1 36 scale caused confusion because users attempted to interpret the writing scores alongside scores earned on other ACT subject tests.
38 Writing Test Score Update To reduce confusion, ACT is taking the following steps with writing scores beginning in September 2016: Score reports for test events administered on or after September 2016 will no longer report writing scores on the 1 36 scale, which caused the confusion. For test events beginning in September 2016, the overall reported writing score will change to be the rounded average of the four writing domain scores having a score range of We will be providing additional clarity to the writing task instructions. However, the task itself will not change.
39 Writing Test Score Update We are not changing the following: The four writing domain 2 12 scores (sum of 1 6 raw scores from 2 raters) will continue to be reported as they are now. The English Language Arts (ELA) score, which combines the student s achievement on the English, reading, and writing tests, will remain on a 1 36 scale. The writing test task will not be changed. The scoring rubric will not be changed.
40 Writing Test Score Update Important to note: Although the writing test score was reported on a 2 12 range prior to September 2015, it is NOT reverting back to the same 2 12 range because the score will be calculated differently than the pre- September 2015 writing test score. When referring to the new 2 12 score range, it is important to call it a score range and not a score scale.
