¹ The number of program completers found, matched, and used in the passing rate calculation will not equal the sum of the column labeled "Number Taking Assessment" since a completer can take more than one assessment.
² The national passing rate is calculated at Ohio's cut scores, which are among the highest in the nation. For instance, Ohio requires the highest cut score in Principles of Learning and Teaching 5-9 (middle childhood) and ranks second in Principles of Learning and Teaching in K-6 and 7-12 (early childhood and adolescent/young adult).
