• Schools in the project test freshmen in the fall and seniors in the spring.
• Provides at the end of the first year a measure of change between freshmen and senior years
• Schools may track the progress of each successive freshman class.
• Allows you to compare the value-added results from your school to results at other, similar
institutions and to college freshmen in our national sample of colleges and universities.
• Can be conducted with all the students in a small school or with representative samples in larger
schools and allows you to gauge where and when the greatest gains are occurring, both taking a
cross-sectional look at the relative performance of different grades that year and tracking the
performance of individual students over time.
