ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) Achievement Testing Program: School Years 1983-1985

Abstract

The Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Reserve Officers' Training Corps administered English, reading, and mathematics tests to Military Science I (MS I) and MS IV cadets to develop systematic information for formulating diagnostic and selection standards. The Army Research Institute analyzed the data. This report describes the score distributions for each MS class by gender, ethnic group, and academic major. There was little difference between average scores of males and females. However, the scores varied substantially among ethnic groups. The findings indicate that further information is needed before diagnostic and selection standards using these or other achievement tests can be set. Keywords: Achievement testing, Basic skills, Commissioning standards, Diagonstic screening.
