Book excerpt: Schools are searching for ways to increase the percentage of students passing the Alabama High School Graduation Exam. A ninth through twelfth grade high school in eastern central Alabama has implemented goal setting sessions in which students are led through a process to pinpoint areas to study for the graduation exam. The students are advised on how to prepare for exams and given information on additional study helps. The study utilized a casual comparative design and the data were expost-facto. A Chi-square statistic was used to analyze the data to determine the pass/fail on the Alabama High School Graduation Exam for students who had not previously participated in a goal-setting session and for students who had participated in a goal-setting session two weeks prior to the administration of the exam. Research showed that there is no statistically significant difference among the two groups. The results suggest that the goal setting program for this group of students was successful.
