Statistics Information
We urge instructors who purchase new ACS examinations for
use in their classes to return student response data, which
enables us to compute national norms for exams. If you are
willing to share your student data (anonymously, of course)
for the Examinations Institute data to use in computing
norms, be sure to follow the Directions for Administering
Examinations that is sent with your exam order.
As soon as enough data is collected, national test norms
and item statistics are calculated for each examination.
Once it has been calculated, this statistical data is
available in its entirety to everyone who has purchased a
particular examination. Instructors who supply norming data
receive detailed, confidential information about the
performance of their students, compared to data from the
national norming population.
