Description of the Book:

Assessment of the College-Level Academic Skills Test Project (CLAST) at Florida colleges and universities is discussed.

Information is included on: the level of sophomore college-level skills in communication and computation in 1985-1986; the CLAST scale score performance of private postsecondary institutions; the level of communication and computation skills of examinees enrolled at each public institution; the percentage of examinees in 1985-1986 meeting 1984 CLAST standards by ethnic/racial group; and percentages of examinees at specific institutions that passed CLAST in 1985-1986. For the CLAST reading, writing, computation, and essay subtests, CLAST standards are indicated for 1984, 1986, and 1989. Data are included on the percentage of 1985-1986 examinees meeting the 1986 and 1989 CLAST standards for all examinees and for racial/ethnic groups; and the percentage of 1985-1986 public college examinees meeting CLAST subtest standards based on 1986 and 1989 standards.
