Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE)

About the PSAEThe Prairie State Achievement Examination is mandated by the State of Illinois. Since April 2001, every 11th-grader in Illinois has taken the exam, and beginning in 2005 taking the PSAE became a graduation requirement.

During two days of exams, each student is tested in five subject areas: science, social studies, reading, writing and mathematics. The PSAE consists of an ACT exam, plus ACT Work Keys and Illinois State Board of Education-created exams in science and writing.

State testing serves five purposes:

•Measurestudentperformancerelativetothestatestandards,therebyenabling the state to evaluate the percentage of students in each school that exceed, meet and fail to meet the state standards •Providedescriptions,basedonstudentperformance,of howschoolsanddistricts are performing in comparison to the state and nation •Chartprogressof schools,districtsandthestateovertime •Generateinformationwhichcanbeusedforaccountability,policymakingand school improvement •Honortheexcellentperformanceof individualstudents PSAE divides performance standards in each of five subjects into four levels:

•ExceedsStandards •MeetsStandards •BelowStandards •AcademicWarning

The score range for each subject is 120-200. Individual PSAE subject scores and honors designations are on students’ final transcripts.

In November 2007, the State of Illinois mandated the inclusion of LEP (Limited English Proficiency) students in the 2008 PSAE assessment.

Prior to the PSAE, Stevenson students participated in the Illinois Standards AchievementTest(ISAT)between1998-2000,andtheIllinoisGoalAssessmentProgram(IGAP)from1993–1999.TheIGAPassessedall10th-gradersinreading, mathematics and writing, and all 11th-graders in science and social studies. The ISAT assessed 10th-graders in reading, mathematics and writing.

EXPLORE

About the EXPLOREThe EXPLORE program contains four academic tests: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning. These tests are designed to measure student progress toward attainment of entry-level curriculum-related knowledge and complex cognitive skills that are required in high school and are important for later education and career success.

The EXPLORE is an early indicator of college readiness, an effective tool for planning high school coursework, and a useful career exploration and planning program. Explore is administered during the freshman year. This is designed in accordance with the PLAN (10th grade) and the ACT (11th and 12th grade) to monitor and inform student academic progress.

PLAN

About the PLANThe PLAN program contains four academic tests: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning. These tests are designed to measure student attainment of the curriculum-related knowledge and complex cognitive skills that are acquired in the early years of high school and are important for later education and careers. Thus, the PLAN tests are intended to provide tenth-grade students with information they need to prepare for future academic and career success.

The PLAN academic tests are also related to the ACT Assessment. These two testing programs measure student academic development in the same curricular areas; the major difference is that the PLAN measures skills that are developed early in secondary education among all students, and the ACT Assessment measures skills that are developed later in high school, specifically among college-bound students. While PLAN results can provide students with an early indication of their progress in curriculum areas measured by the ACT Assessment, the fundamental purpose of PLAN is to determine student preparedness for any future educational or career choice.

American College Testing (ACT)

About the ACTThe ACT is the predominant test for college admission in the Midwest, and is usually first taken in the spring of the junior year. The ACT is a component of the Illinois state testing program required for all juniors. The ACT is a two hour and 55 minute multiple-choice test. The test is scored on scale from 0 to 36, and its scores are reported in four categories: English, reading, mathematics and science reasoning, with a composite average of the four areas. In 2005, ACT added an optional writing test.

English TestThe English test is a 75-item, 45-minute test that measures the student’s understanding of the conventions of standard written English in punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure and the student’s ability to make the kinds of decisions made by good writers related to strategy, organization and style. Spelling, vocabulary and rote recall of rules of grammar are not tested.

Mathematics TestThe mathematics test is a 60-item, 60-minute test that is designed to assess the mathematical skills that students have typically acquired in courses taken up to the beginning of grade 12. The test, which is multiple-choice, requires students to use their reasoning skills to solve practical problems in mathematics. Knowledge of basic formulas and computational skills are assumed as background for the problems, but complex formulas and extensive computation are not required. The material covered on the test emphasizes the major content areas that are prerequisite to successful performance in entry-level courses in college mathematics.

Reading TestThe reading test is a 40-item, 35-minute test that measures the student’s level of reading comprehension as a product of skill in referring and reasoning. That is, the test items require students to derive meaning from several texts by referring to what is explicitly stated and by reasoning to determine implicit meanings and to draw conclusions, comparisons, and generalizations.

Science Reasoning TestThe science reasoning test is a 40-item, 35-minute test that measures the student’s interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills required in a coursework in the natural sciences. The test is made up of units consisting of some scientific information and a set of multiple-choice test items.

Educational Planning and Assessment System (EPAS)

About the EPAS Growth ModelACT’s EPAS (Educational Planning and Assessment System) provides a longitudinal, systematic approach to educational and career planning, assessment, instructional support, and evaluation. The system focuses on the integrated, higher-order thinking skills students develop in grades 9-12 that are important for success both during and after high school.

The EPAS allows us to:

•Assesschangeinperformanceovertimeforindividual students and the school as a whole by “linking” information across assessment programs. •Highlightstrengthsandpinpointareasof possible improvement in the preparation of college-bound students for postsecondary opportunities.

During the 2010-11 school year, the District 125 goal measuring ACT success was changed from an average score model to a growth model. Each student’s score on the EXPLORE, PLAN and ACT will be monitored to ensure they are exhibiting expected growth.

Advanced Placement (AP)

About the Advanced Placement ProgramAP is a program of college-level courses and exams that gives high school students the opportunity to receive advanced placement and credit in college. Most of the nation’s colleges and universities have an AP policy granting incoming students credit, placement or both for qualifying AP exams.

AP Examinations offer students the following benefits:

•Theopportunitytosharpenacademicskills,allowing them to enter college with the confidence that they can succeed •Exemptionbythecollegeoruniversityfromintroductorycoursesandpermissiontotakehigher-level courses, enabling students to move ahead in areas of interest •Anopportunitytodemonstratetocollegestheabilitytosuccessfullypursuerigorouscoursework •Academiccreditthatcangivethemaheadstartin college •Tuitionsavings–ayearormoreof creditmaybe granted for a sufficient number of qualifying AP grades •Timetoexploreundergraduatesubjectareasthat they wouldn’t otherwise be able to study, and time to pursue internships or to study abroad •Theopportunityandsatisfactionofmeetingachallenge. •Eligibilityforcollegiatehonorsandotherspecial programs open to students who have received AP recognition

“Success” on an AP Exam is defined as an exam score of 3 or higher, which represents the score point that research finds predictive of college success and college graduation. These findings have held consistent across the decades. One example of such a study comes from the National Center for Educational Accountability, which found that an AP Exam score, and a score of 3 or higher in particular, is a strong predictor of a student’s ability to persist in college and earn a bachelor’s degree.

The data in this report differs from other College Board reports, such as The AP Report to the Nation, which tracks exams taken by seniors throughout their high school career (cohort-based) and includes public school data only.

SAT

About the SATThe SAT is a multiple-choice test that measures knowledge and skills in three areas: critical reading, writing and mathematics. The critical reading section includes reading passages and sentence completions. The writing section includes a short essay and multiple-choice questions on identifying errors and improving grammar and usage. The mathematics section includes questions on arithmetic operations, algebra, geometry, statistics and probability.

The SAT is offered seven times during the school year in the United States. The exam takes three hours and 45 minutes, and consists of 10 timed sections:

•Threesectionstestcriticalreading(70minutestotal) •Threesectionstestmathematics(70minutestotal) •Threesectionstestwriting(60minutestotal) •Onevariable(unscored)sectiontestscriticalreading,mathematicsorwriting (25minutestotal)

Each of the content areas — critical reading, mathematics and writing — are scoredonascaleof 200to800.RawscoresareconvertedtoaCollegeBoardscaled score so that it can be compared with the scores of students who have taken other editions of the the SAT. Scaled scores ensure that small difficulties of various editions of the SAT do not affect a student’s scores.

An SAT score alone has little practical meaning, since it does not tell where a student stands in comparison to other students. Norms, such as percentile ranks, are developed to allow such comparisons. A percentile rank is determined by calculating the percentage of scores in a group that are lower than a given score.

Analogies and quantitative comparisons are not part of the revised SAT. Analogies were replaced with short, paragraph-length reading passages. The revised mathematics section includes some advanced math.

PSAT/NMSQT

About the PSAT/NMSQTThe Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills, and writing skills which are important for academic performance in college. It assesses ability to reason with facts and concepts rather than the ability to recall and recite them. The PSAT/NMSQT places a priority on the critical thinking skills educators emphasize.

The PSAT/NMSQT includes five sections: two 25-minute critical reading sections, two 25-minute mathematics sections, and one 30-minute writing skills section. The whole test requires two hours and ten minutes.

Changes in scores were introduced in 1994. PSAT/NMSQT scores were shifted or “recentered” to make them easier to understand and to improve technical characteristics. Scores are reported on a 20 to 80 scale and the Selection Index ranges from 60 to 240.

By taking the PSAT/NMSQT, students may qualify to enter competitions for prestigious scholarships and participate in recognition programs.
