About the Tests

  • In 2007-2008 Wisconsin used the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination - Criterion-Referenced Tests (WKCE-CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in math and reading, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in language arts, science and social studies.
  • The WKCE-CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Wisconsin.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

About the Tests

  • The ACT is a national college admission and placement examination.
  • ACT scores range from a low of 1 to a high of 36. The Composite score is an average of the English, math, reading and science scores.
  • Scores represent results for students in grade 12 who took the ACT as juniors or seniors.
  • Because of changes in state enrollment collections in 2004-2005, participation rates for the graduating class of 2005 should be interpreted with caution.
