  1. EPASEducational Planning & Assessement System ACT PLAN EXPLORE

  2. Science Test • Tests your ability to “think like a scientist” • Information and facts you need are in the passage! You don’t have to recall specific FACTS from specific COURSES!!!!!

  3. Measures how well you… • Analyze and interpret data • Compare experimental designs and methods • Compare assumptions underlying experiments • Make generalizations • Identify and evaluate conflicting points of view

  4. 3 KINDS OF QUESTIONS • Data Representation • Research Summaries • Conflicting Viewpoints

  5. DATA REPRESENTATION • Graphs and tables similar to those in scientific journals and texts • Measures how well you…… • Read graphs • Interpret scatter plots • Interpret information in tables

  6. RESEARCH SUMMARIES • One or more related experiments are described • Measures how well you…. • Understand experimental design • Interpret experimental results

  7. Conflicting Viewpoints • Presents several hypotheses that are inconsistent with one another • Measures how well you…. • Understand, analyze, and compare alternative hypotheses or viewpoints

  8. 3 LEVELS OF QUESTIONS

  9. PLAN BLUEPRINT 25 M I N U T E S

  10. PLAN CONTENT CONTENT FOR TEST PASSAGES IS TAKEN FROM THESE AREAS: • Biology • Earth/Space • Chemistry • Physics

  11. SCIENCE PASSAGES

  12. BENCHMARK Scores ARE YOU on track for college-level work or success after high school?

  13. BENCHMARK Scores PLAN Science Test: 21 or higher

  14. BENCHMARK Scores Meet or exceed PLAN benchmarks 50% chance of meeting or exceeding ACT benchmark scores

  15. BENCHMARK Scores What if you don’t meet benchmark? • You may be placed in a remedial college course. THAT MEANS I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CLASS BUT IT DOESN’T COUNT TOWARD GRADUATION. BUMMER…………….

  16. BENCHMARK Scores What if you don’t meet benchmark? • Students who do not meet the PLAN Benchmarks in English, reading, or mathematics “shall have interventions strategies for accelerated learning incorporated into his or her learning plan.” ~KRS 158.6459 This will help me get back on track and it will be recorded in my ILP.
