College and Career Readiness Initiative: College Placement Testing Results for High School Students. Edition 2010-04
Florida Department of Education
The State of Florida launched the College and Career Readiness Initiative to improve student readiness for postsecondary education and promote success after high school graduation. During the 2008 legislative session, s. 1008.30 (3), F.S., (also known as Senate Bill (SB) "1908") was revised to provide an opportunity for postsecondary readiness testing of high school students and remediation prior to graduation. This legislation, which requires cross-sector (secondary-postsecondary) collaboration, expands college/career readiness testing to 11th grade students who express a desire to attend a postsecondary institution, and provides opportunities for students with deficiencies to receive remediation during the 12th grade. Participation in remediation is voluntary for students. Students are considered "college ready" or prepared to enter college credit coursework when they meet the state-defined cut scores on approved common placement tests, per State Board Rule, 6A-10.0315, F.A.C. This report explores college placement testing (CPT) testing outcomes in mathematics, reading, and writing for SB 1908 students. The report compares the pass rates of SB 1908 students with pass rates from prospective dual enrollment students and students who have enrolled in college readiness courses. Additionally, it examines trends in readiness and success course enrollments across the State of Florida from 2008-09 to 2009-10. The aim of this research is to show how targeted instruction in high school can be valuable in assisting students to prepare for college credit coursework.
