Your score: 88%
Question 1

Correct. If a state has made data available from the two most recent graduating cohort years (2014-15 and 2015-16), they earned points for this category. Any data older than two years did not earn points for timeliness. Postsecondary indicators have a longer lag time in reporting and a different definition of timeliness. For the full details on this and other point-awarding criteria, see the transparency report methodology.

Question 4

That’s right. The 9th grade cohort is the best denominator to use when calculating college and career readiness outcomes because it counts all students who entered 9th grade together. Making calculations about 12th graders or high school graduates, for example, doesn’t account for students who have dropped out or fallen behind earlier in high school, leading to inflated figures.
