Notes: The tests shown are academic content exams in core content areas. The number in parentheses after the test name is the test code number. The cut score is the minimum score required by the state to pass the assessment. The states shown for these assessments are only those states that reported pass rates for the assessment in the 2001-2002 cohort year. Additional states have established cut scores for these assessments but do not report the cut score in Title II because there were no completers in the given year. For purposes of this appendix, the term "state" refers to the 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
