OK, you have completed a random selection of students and you have pulled data for each of those students.  What type of results have you found?

• Were you able to find registration forms for all of your randomly selected students? 
• If yes, good for you.
• If not, what happened – poor record keeping, files not in order? Better check this one out to see what is going on.
• Were you able to find the initial assessment results for all of your randomly selected students?
• Were all students enrolled in GED programs initially assessed at or above a 9.0 grade equivalent on the TABE (Tests of Adult Basic Education) or a similar level using another approved test?
• If yes, good for you – students with a 9.0 grade equivalent or higher tend to do better in the GED program.
• If no, what happened – were students enrolled in the GED program no matter the initial assessment score? 
• If yes, then it is time to take a serious look at your assessment and placement procedures.
• If no, better investigate to find out what assessment and placement procedures are in use in your program.
• Were you able to find final assessment results for all of your randomly selected students?
• Were those final results based on the GED Practice Test?  Score one for you and your teachers.  The GED Practice Test is an excellent indicator of student success on the Official GED Tests.  Teachers should be using this instrument before students register for the official tests.
• No assessment results – how do your teachers know that students are ready to take the Official GED Tests?  Better do a little investigating on this one.  Final assessment is not required, but it can make a difference in your final graduation rate.
• Did you locate the GED Test results for all of your randomly selected students?
• How many of the GED students actually passed all or part of the GED Tests?
• What is the passing rate for students who enroll in your GED instructional program?
