Academic Rigor: Is classwork too easy?
Students who reported that the NECAP test was "harder" than their regular school work were more likely to struggle on the test and had lower 9th grade promotion rates.
After students have completed each multi-day NECAP subject test, they take a short survey that asks them about their experience with the test.
Notice that if you select the two questions that have to do with "trying hard" -- on the lower attribute selector -- fewer than 10% of the students scoring at Level 1 or Level 2 in any school said they did not try hard to pass the test. Generally, students take the test seriously.
