许多美国学生必须通过基于标准的毕业考试才能获得高中文凭。毕业考试和国家标准在多大程度上正确地向学生发出了他们为中学后教育做好准备的信号，这一点受到了质疑。这项研究确定了亚利桑那大学参加亚利桑那州高中考试的学生（n = 2，667）的考试成绩与大学成绩的一致性。考试分数的通过/失败信号准确性因科目而异：写作分数与大学表现一致，阅读分数低于预期，数学分数设置得相当严格。高中的内容和成绩标准可能不会像以前的研究所建议的那样被淡化。
Many U.S. students must pass a standards-based exit exam to earn a high school diploma. The degree to which exit exams and state standards properly signal to students their preparedness for postsecondary schooling has been questioned. The alignment of test scores with college grades for students at the University of Arizona (n = 2,667) who took the Arizona high school exams was ascertained in this study. The pass/fail signal accuracy of test scores varied depending on subject: The writing cut score was well aligned with collegiate performance, the reading cut score was below expectations, and the mathematics cut score was set quite rigorously. High school content and performance standards might not be as diluted as prior research has suggested.
