Early Assessment Program
11th grade testing (early assessment of college readiness)
Supplemental high school preparation in 12th grade
Professional development Reading Institute for Academic
Preparation (RIAP) Expository Reading and Writing
Course (ERWC)
Early assessment of college readiness
Voluntary examination Administered in 11th grade in conjunction
with STAR and CST’s 15 additional multiple-choice items in
English and mathematics 45 minute essay required in English Selected items from CST and additional
EAP items (including essay in English) are scored to determine student readiness for college English and/or mathematics
EAP Testing Purposes
Early warning Identify students who need to do
additional work in English and/or mathematics before entering the CSU
Identify student readiness Inform students, families, and
high schools of students’ readiness for college-level work in English and mathematics
12th grade interventions Motivate students to take
needed steps in 12th grade to assure readiness
Why the EAP was created
In 1999 over half of all students entering the CSU demonstrated a proficiency in English and mathematics of “not ready for college level courses.” Close to 66% of students entered the CSU needing remediation in at least one subject.
A collaboration between – California State Board of
Education– California Department of
Education– California State University
EAP Goals
Increase number of student, faculty, staff and administrator participation
Increase parents’ knowledge and understanding of EAP
Augment communication of EAP resources

Development Opportunities
Warning: Failure to Meet the EPT and ELM Requirements Costs Time and Money
Students cannot enroll in for-credit CSU college English and/or math classes until they meet the requirements.
They must spend time taking remedial classes during their freshman year until they meet the requirement.
They have to pay for the remedial classes.
They will graduate later because they get no degree credit for remedial classes.
If students do not pass the remedial classes by the end of their first year, they will have to leave the university.

Alternatives to the EAP
As far as how others can share the info, I would have them:
1. Maintain close contact with the English and math teachers at their site;
2. Use every venue to share data (e.g., school newsletter, staff meetings, department meetings, etc.)
3. College bound students must understand they have everything to gain and nothing to lose in participating in the EAP.
1. Give every math & English teacher a copy of their class roster with the names of students who took EAP highlighted
2. Each counselor will receive the same information for her/his counselees. In case there are students who are condition-ally exempt but not enrolled in a math class as a senior - hopefully, they will counsel such students to enroll in math immediately.
3. Meet with English and math department chairs to discuss EAP results & and how to share the info. with their departments. Discuss results’ implications, how to increase the number of students taking the EAP, and how to have more students achieve exempt status.
Data Coach Tips (1.5 hr release time)Maria Carrillo High School, Sonoma County
The CSU has become very successful in helping remedial students achieve proficiency in mathematics and English
during their freshman year.
The number of students fully prepared for both mathematics and English by the second year of
enrollment reached an all time high of 19,734 or 83% in 2006.
Proficiency One Year later
New Essay Scoring and Administration
Beginning Spring 2007, students are no longer required to fill in a “bubble” to guide the scoring of English EAP tests. All essays will be scored as long as one EAP item on the multiple-choice test is completed.
We heard your request- “Get results back faster.” The EAP Essay administration window was moved up in 2007, and will also be moved up in 2008.
The EAP essays must be administered between March 4-31, 2008.
NEW EAP Results Reporting
EAP results are now included in the STAR Student Report. As a result, EAP scores will no longer be mailed to student homes or provided directly to the students.
Schools will still receive: • EAP Data File - a CD-ROM
containing student results • EAP Data File layout – a description
of the fields included on the data file• EAP District Reports – inside a
green folder. There is a district report for each subject area tested.
NEW - View results online
By following a simple five-step process, students can determine their English and mathematics EAP status and get step-by-step advice for preparing for the CSU.

Note: Students must bubble where it says the CSU can receive their results, other-wise the results will not be available online.
EAP Results Web Site
The new EAP website has been updated to look like the STAR data reported on the CDE website.
The site now reports:
• EAP report information by county, district, and school;
• Subgroups such as English Language fluency, economic status, parent education, ethnicity, gender and disability.
