Academic Preparation - 70% of students entering two-year institutions and 40% entering four-year institutions require remedial courses[2] - Over 40% of 2023 high school graduates did not meet ACT college readiness benchmarks in English, math, reading, and science[2] - Students emphasize readiness for college-level courses (465 responses), mastery of foundational knowledge (344 responses), and strong study habits (295 responses) as key aspects of academic preparation[6] Self-Assessment vs. ACT Benchmarks - 82% of students self-assessed as prepared in English, but only 61% met ACT benchmarks[25] - 15% of students overestimated their readiness in English, while 32% overestimated in science[25] - Students who accurately assessed their readiness were more likely to use multiple academic indicators (e.g., standardized test scores, course rigor)[34] Factors Influencing College Readiness - Students who took more college credit courses (average of 5) were 1.3 times more likely to meet ACT benchmarks[47] - Self-reported learning skills (e.g., time management, note-taking) were significant predictors of meeting benchmarks in English (1.52x), math (1.30x), and science (1.28x)[56] - Availability of academic resources (e.g., tutoring, test prep) increased the likelihood of meeting benchmarks in math (1.15x) and science (1.12x)[62] Student Perspectives on Support - Advanced/rigorous courses (558 responses) and learning skills (258 responses) were cited as most helpful for college preparation[64] - Students highlighted the importance of professional support from knowledgeable adults (195 responses) and access to academic resources (136 responses)[65][70]
