This is an empirical study of the remediation process for the minimum competency test in Florida, namely, the State Student Assessment Test (SSAT). First, a review of the literature covers minimum competency testing from its creation at the federal level to its reality in the classroom in Florida. Second, a closer look is taken of the minimum competency program in Leon County, Florida. / The data collected came from 321 seniors attending three of the four public high schools in Leon County. The survey was conducted by means of a random selection process. / The findings suggested that race, mother's education, school attended, and test status make a difference as to the level of involvement of the student in the remediation process. The level of education of the student's mother, the school attended by the student, and the test status of the student make a difference as to the student's awareness of the test and testing process. / This study is concluded by a summary of the findings, conclusions, and suggestions for further research. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-04, Section: A, page: 0938. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
