Summary:
The Congressional Research Service receives numerous requests for information
concerning standardized educational test scores of specific States and local
communities.
Standardized test scores typically are compiled only by the schools
or school districts that administer the exams; in general, they can be obtained
only by contacting school officials in each locality. Of increasing concern
are the nationwide average scores on both the American College Test (ACT) and
the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).
This Info Pack provides basic information and background on standardized
educational tests.
Statistical material is included to reflect the most recent
results of those who have taken these tests who intend to go to college.
Additional information on this subject, primarily in newspapers and
periodicals, may be found in a local library through the use of indexes such as
the Education Index, Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS), Readers' Guide to
Periodical Literature, and the New York Times Index.
Members of Congress who want additional information may contact CRS at
287-5700.
We hope this information is useful.
