CAAP brings the following benefits to general education outcomes assessment programs:

Reliability: CAAP is a national, standardized assessment programbased on professional research and development by ACT-an independent,not-for-profit organization that has provided top-quality assessments andrelated services for more than half a century.

Customization: CAAP offers six independent test modules. Institutions can customize their assessment program by selecting those modules that best reflect their mission and the goals and curricula of their general education programs. Up to nine local questions can be added to each test module for detailed local information.

Convenience: There are no national test dates with CAAP. Institutions determine when to administer the CAAP assessments on their campuses, and ACT provides the support they need to do so. Once testing has been completed, an institution simply returns the tests to ACT for scoring and reporting. ACT's outstanding customer service representatives are available to answer any questions.
