Estimated Student Score Gain on the ACT COMP Exam: Valid Tool for Institutional Assessment?

Banta, Trudy W.; And Others

Research in Higher Education, v27 n3 p195-217 1987

Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, indicate that this method is not reliable to make judgments about the quality of general education programs. (Author/MLW)
