Achieve, Inc: Defects of Graduation Exams in 6 States
![]()
Achieve, Inc. has once again set off a chorus of wailing with its latest publication, this time on the defects of graduation exams in six states. The report concludes that the tests aren't all that difficult-the subject matter is mostly 9th and 10th grade stuff, and the cut scores are laughably low. (Or as the report puts it, the math tests "cover material students in most other countries study in the 7th or 8th grade.") Click here for a selection of news articles and commentary on the report, including one from our own Education Gadfly.
