Notes: The sample is all first-time, public school Michigan eleventh graders in years 2004–09, conditional on reaching spring of eleventh grade. The sample is restricted to the 226 schools without a pre-policy ACT test center and the 226 schools with a pre-policy test center matched using nearest neighbor matching. Each point estimate is from a separate linear probability model, difference-in-difference regression. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the school level. Pre-policy dependent variable means are in italics below the standard errors.
**Significant at the 5% level; ***significant at the 1% level.
