Research indicates 9th and 10th grade CSAP can reliably predict a range of Colorado ACT (CO ACT) scores for each student. Using the Colorado Growth Model, predictive linkages can be made from the 9th and 10th grade CSAP to the 11th grade CO ACT in each content area tested. This means that every possible 9th and 10th grade CSAP score has a predicted range of CO ACT scores for students making typical growth. Additionally, 9th grade scores can be used...
