GEAR UP Alliance 2011 Institute for a College-Going Culture: Drive the dream What is the ACT Student Readiness Inventory? What does research say are necessary skills/behaviors needed to be college ready? Is there a way to determine where a student is regarding these research-based college readiness skills? If so, what intervention, once the level of readiness is determined, can professionals provide to increase chances that the student will stay in school and graduate?

GEAR UP Alliance 2011 Institute for a College-Going Culture: Drive the dream What does the ACT Student Readiness Inventory provide? Individual student data with a general picture of college readiness strengths and weaknesses compared to other college students. Percentiles based on national norms for ten scales (skills/behaviors) that describe college readiness. Feedback and recommendations about areas where students may need to improve.
