The state Education Department (SED) is conducting a "job analysis study" to study how well scores on New York State Regents exams predict test-takers' later performance in college and the workplace.
The purpose of the questionnaire is to understand what knowledge, skills, and abilities are relevant to the performance of students after high school.
The survey is based on the state's learning standards and interviews with college faculty about knowledge, skills, and abilities that entering college students need.
Information obtained from the survey will help set design future Regents exams and evaluate learning standards. The survey will be on the state Education Department Web site until the end of April.
