College Entrance Examinations: ACT & SAT Testing, 1984-85. District Report.
O'Neal, Sandra
American College Testing Program (ACT) and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) results are summarized for students in the Albuquerque (New Mexico) Public Schools (APS). Results indicate that for the 1984-85 school year, APS students' scores compare very well with national norms. APS mean ACT scores for the total group are above national averages for English, mathematics, social studies, natural science, and composite score. Compared with the previous year, scores stabilized in English and natural science, but declined slightly in mathematics and social studies. APS students have scored considerably higher than the New Mexico total ACT average for the past 11 years. Although the majority of college-bound students in New Mexico take the ACT, many planning to attend out-of-state colleges and those who have not made a college choice take the SAT. Results for APS students are above the national means. Scores decreased slightly from 1982-83 to 1984-85. Other data included in this report are ACT scores for males and females; ACT scores according to secondary school curriculum; percentage of seniors tested; student characteristics and family characteristics; educational aspirations; and states where students plan to attend college.
