The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), in addition to the assessment itself, collects students' reports of courses they have taken in the subject area of the test. A comparison of reports from the 1994 history NAEP with information from the 1994 High School Transcript Study reveals that students greatly overestimate the number of history classes taken and fail to distinguish among different types of history classes. Though less definitive, limited evidence suggests that these erroneous reports may result in misunderstandings of the impact of course work on student knowledge. Finally, there is indirect evidence of bias in reports of course content coverage in NAEP. We discuss various alternatives to the continued use of inaccurate reports.
