ACT National Curriculum Survey

The ACT National Curriculum Survey is a nationwide survey of educational practices and expectations conducted every three to five years by ACT.  The survey collects data about what entering college students should know and be able to do to be ready for college-level coursework in English, mathematics, reading, and science.  The results of the survey are used to inform ongoing efforts to develop, refine, and update common academic standards and inform policymakers and educators.   The results also guide development of ACT’s curriculum-based assessments to ensure that they meet the needs of college and career readiness.
