The EAP, or the Early Assessment Program test which was taken by Roseville students every year before last, always had apparent scores on the students transcripts. The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) that juniors last year took instead of the EAP will now appear on transcripts.

According to RHS Counselor Robyn Pasco, colleges won’t base admission on the scores of a student’s CAASPP test, but rather their potential placement in higher education courses.

“They’re not used for admission purposes,” Pasco said. “Part of the CAASPP scores are used for placement into college-level English and math classes, but they are not used for the admission process whatsoever.”

Senior Chandler Higgs expressed relief upon clarification that the CAASPP would not be considered for college admission.

“The CAASPP being on my transcript does not upset me as long as it doesn’t affect my chances of admission,” Higgs said. “That fact was not clear so I was originally upset, but after finding out it won’t hurt my chance of getting into a college, I am not upset anymore. However, I don’t like that the test could affect your placement in college as I don’t want on class to define what classes I take.”
