Congressional Research Service The Library sf Congress Washington, D.C. 20540 STANDARDIZED EDUCATIONAL TEST SCORES IP0294S The Congressional Research Service receives numerous requests for information concerning standardized educational test scores of specific States and local communities. Standardized test scores typically are compiled only by the schools or school districts that administer the exams; in general, they can be obtained only by contacting school officials in each locality. Of increasing concern are the nationwide average scores on both the American College Test (ACT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). This Info Pack provides basic information and background on standardized educational tests. Statistical material is included to reflect the most recent results of those who have taken these tests who intend to go to college. Additional information on this subject, primarily in newspapers and periodicals, may be found in a local library through the use of indexes such as the Education Index, Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS), Readers Guide to Periodical Literature, and the New York Times Index. Members of Congress who want additional information may contact
