做厙TVCollege Readiness Benchmarks

Setting the Bar for Success

The Benchmarks

The 做厙TVCollege Readiness Benchmarks are the 做厙TVscores that represent the level of achievement required for students to have a 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher and about a 75-80% chance of obtaining a C or higher in corresponding credit-bearing courses. Using data collected from hundreds of colleges across the United States, Benchmarks have been established for the 做厙TVsection test scores, 做厙TVSTEM score, and the 做厙TVELA score.

*做厙TVELA scores are only reported for students who take the writing test. Because Pre做厙TV8/9, PreACT, and Pre做厙TVSecure do not include a writing test, ELA scores are not reported and an ELA Benchmark has not been established for Pre做厙TV8/9, PreACT, or Pre做厙TVSecure.
