           ACT National Curriculum Survey, 2005-2006

            A new study by ACT points to a gap between what U.S. high schools are teaching in their core college preparatory courses and what colleges want incoming students to know in order for them to succeed in first-year courses.

            The findings of the study-a national curriculum survey completed by thousands of high school and college instructors across the country-suggest that colleges generally want all incoming students to attain in-depth understanding of a selected number of fundamental skills and knowledge in their high school courses, while high schools tend to provide less in-depth instruction of a broader range of skills and topics.
