Definitions of College Readiness

“College readiness can be defined operationally as the level of

preparation a student needs to enroll and succeed – without remediation – in

a credit-bearing general education course at a postsecondary institution that offers a baccalaureate degree or transfer to a baccalaureate program.”

Source: Conley, David. Redefining College Readiness, Volume 3. Eugene, OR: Educational Policy Improvement Center, 2007.

Current SAT Example: Sentence Completions


Redesigned SAT Sample Item: Command of Evidence (Writing & Language Test)


Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the

assignment below.

Some see printed books as dusty remnants from the preelectronic age. They

point out that electronic books, or e-books, cost less to produce than printed

books and that producing them has a much smaller impact on natural

resources such as trees. Yet why should printed books be considered

obsolete or outdated just because there is something cheaper and more

modern? With books, as with many other things, just because a new version

has its merits doesn’t mean that the older version should be eliminated.

Assignment:

Should we hold on to the old when innovations are available, or should we

simply move forward? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your

point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and

examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
