What Scores? When? MC/MC

QualityCore (QC) reports in the online reporting system will include scores for Multiple Choice sections 1 and 2.If the administration was CBT, the score will be returned within 24 hours, usually instantlyIf the administration was P&P, the scores will appear in the online system within 2 weeks after ACT receives the answer documents for scoring

What Scores? When? MC/MC/CR

KDE receives one complete state data file from ACT in summer for all students regardless of when tested with MC/MC and CR responses.KDE uses final data in accountability reports for Next-Generation Learners (Achievement and Gap categories).

KDE Policy

End-of-course test results may be used for a percentage of a student’s final grade in the course, as outlined in local policy. If that percentage is less than 20%, school districts will submit reports to KDE providing justification.
