“…The ACAT is a standardized, content knowledge test with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100 (Chaplin, 1994). Typically, students complete our methodology sequence during their first or second year of college, and each year 100 of approximately 250 graduating seniors complete the ACAT as part of our departmental assessment activities (Stoloff, Apple, Barron, Reis-Bergen, & Sundre, 2004). While different options are available for the ACAT, we have our senior psychology majors complete a version that evaluates 10 different subject areas, which include statistics, methods, abnormal, animal learning, developmental, human learning, personality, physiological, sensation and perception, and social.…”
