Military academies would accept scores from several college-readiness tests

The Defense Secretary would ensure that each covered service academy may use scores from any of at least three qualifying tests. This applies when a military service academy covered by the cited federal definition has a standardized testing requirement. Each test must be nationally recognized, designed to measure college readiness, and cover math, reading, grammar and writing, and analytical reasoning. Tests may also cover critical thinking, understanding complex texts, and other signs of college readiness that the Defense Secretary considers appropriate.

The DoDEA director would ensure that covered students have the opportunity to take at least three qualifying assessments. This covers every 11th-grade student enrolled in a Department of Defense Education Activity school. Each assessment must meet the same college-readiness and subject requirements that apply to the service academies.
