Illinois Licensure Testing System Test of Academic Proficiency (400) Pass Rates by Approved Program Interpretive Notes and Cautions The following notes and cautions are an integral part of this report. Institutional affiliation is based on examinee self-report at the time of test registration. Candidates may report up to three institutional affiliations at the time of registration and therefore, results for any additional institutions are included. Each candidate contributes to all the institutions selected, but appears only once in the Statewide results. Since institutional affiliation is self-reported at the time of test registration, candidates have not been verified by institutions. Extreme caution should be used in interpreting data for small numbers of candidates. Comparisons of institutional pass rates may be inappropriate since the number tested may vary widely across institutions. Percent pass is not reported for those groups with fewer than 10 candidates. These cells are indicated with dashes. The candidates whose results are presented in this document may not reflect the same proportion of all types and capabilities of candidates in the population who will take the tests in the future. Test of Academic Proficiency Included in the tables below are those who attempted at least one subtest in the 400 series Test of Academic Proficiency between August 1, 2014 and July 31, 2015 and who have attempted all four subtests. Results reflect each candidate s best attempt for candidates who retook one or more subtests. Effective July 24, 2012, ACT or SAT scores can be used in lieu of a passing score on the Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP). Therefore these data do not include candidates who have been given a TAP exemption based on their ACT or SAT scores. Key: N=number of candidates who tested during the time period (statewide and by approved program) N Pass=number who passed the test/subtest (statewide and by approved program) % pass=percent pass (statewide and by approved program) TAP Assessment (400) = Candidates who took all four TAP subtests (at least one subtest taken during the designated time period)
