In addition to the Illinois Assessment of Readiness, or IAR, the Illinois Report Card also includes data from the SAT, an Illinois Board of Education-sponsored accountability assessment given to high school juniors.
The test has four performance levels, distinct from the College Board’s own performance levels, including:
- Level 1: Partially meets standards
- Level 2: Approaching standards
- Level 3: Meets standards
- Level 4: Exceeds standards
Students performing at Levels 3 and 4, according to the state board of education, are considered proficient in Illinois Learning Standards, which prepare them for college and careers.
