To fulfill federal testing requirements, and not be included as a non-participant in Closing the Gaps (Academic Achievement), accelerated testers must have a corresponding subject area SAT/ACT on file. There is not a retest requirement under ESSA if they don’t achieve a certain score, just that the students test. However, the SAT/ACT results are included (if they participated) in performance calculations.
