| Summary | This study examines determinants of student academic readiness for college and of taking college admission tests by 12th grade. In order to test these questions, the study develops a model specifying the role of student- and school-level characteristics in academic readiness for college and in taking of college admission tests. This model builds upon the social-capital-theory by adding college choice theory and school effectiveness study, and hypothesized that not only student-level but also school-level characteristics directly affect academic readiness for college and admission testparticipation. This study provides findings that support both points of view. Both individual-level and school-level variables predicted the probability of taking college admission tests as well as academic readiness. | ||
