The Career and College Readiness researcher file contains commonly requested student-level assessment data from the K-12 environment pertaining to college and career readiness for students.This dataset reflects information about career and college readiness assessments administered by the Michigan Department of Education and also Advanced Placement examinations throughout the state. Administered tests include SAT (current), ACT (retired), PSAT (current), and WorkKeys (current). Data covers all students from private, home schooled and public schools who have participated in these assessments. Prior to 2014-2015, ACT was a component of the MME assessment. For 2014-2015, it was given as its own assessment. Tests were administered during the spring each year. Data from the 2007-2008 school year forward are available. Future years’ data will be added on an annual basis as data become available. Note that prior to the 2015-2016 school year, the ACT was retired from testing by the MDE, and was replaced with the SAT. We have Career and College Readiness assessment records for over 1.7 million students in total.

SAT and PSAT

Highlights

Record Level: Student by Year by Assessment 
Record Count: 220,000-320,000 PSAT records per year, 83,000-110,000 SAT records per year 
Years Covered: 2016-Present, excluding 2020 
Population Coverage: Data covers all students from private, home schooled and public schools who have participated in these assessments.

For the SAT, we have three main scores: Total, English Language Arts, and Math. For the English Language Arts and Math portions of the assessment, we have variables that denote whether the student's score met the college/career benchmark. In addition we have the student's Student Growth Percentile for SAT assessment if the student previously took the PSAT. Please note that beginning in the 2018-2019 Academic Year the State no longer assesses 8th graders with the MSTEP, instead they have begun to assess 8th graders with the PSAT. PSAT scores for 8th graders are stored under the SAT variables SAT_TOTAL_SCORE, SAT_ELA_SCORE, SAT_MATH_SCORE. Those PSAT scores can be found using the variable named 'assessment' that has a possible value of 'PSAT 8'.
