The Use of CollegeReady to Improve Course Performance in English without the Need for Formal Remediation: A Case Study at Chattanooga State Community College. Research Report 2018-6

Many students graduate from high school under-prepared for college-level coursework, leading to a large number of students entering college who require remediation in English and mathematics. This study looked at the effectiveness of using EdReady--now offered through ACT as CollegeReady™--as a system for delivering remediation prior to college to improve students' course performance. We found that students who elected to skill-up with the product to the point where they avoided remedial coursework actually out-performed their peers with regard to their pass rate and course grades in their first college-level English composition course, providing promising support for the program. Future research should employ experimental and/or quasi-experimental designs to isolate the causal effect of CollegeReady on college success.
