Survey Facsimile for Cognitive Testing

Interview Items for Round 2 of Cognitive Testing

BPS:12/14 interview items proposed for the second round of cognitive testing include revisions to items from the BPS:12/14 field test interview in the following sections: Enrollment, Education Experiences, Financial Aid, Employment, and Income and Expenses.  The revisions made to these sections were based on information learned from the first round of cognitive testing, field test data, and discussion at the meeting of the BPS Technical Review Panel (TRP) on August 1 and 2, 2013. The Front End, Locating, and Incentives sections from the field test interview, which are administrative sections that do not focus on concepts unique to the BPS:12/14 interview, are not included in cognitive testing. There are no changes to the Background section.

Table 1 in this attachment lists the proposed revisions from the field test interview, including the interview section, item name, and a description of the proposed change. These are primarily revisions to items included in the field test, such as adding gate questions to route respondents more efficiently through the instrument, as well as clarification to question wording, and modifications to response options. The proposed interview also includes one new question recommended by the TRP to increase the analytical utility of additional items in the section. The attachment also includes an instrument facsimile, with the names of revised items highlighted in yellow. The second round of cognitive interviews will be used to assess the effect of these revisions on respondent burden and comprehension in the interview overall, in preparation for the full-scale interview.

A high school diploma is awarded to students after successful completion of the required courses at a high school. This category also includes Adult High School Diplomas.

The GED (General Educational Development) certificate or other equivalent credential allows those who did not finish high school to earn the equivalent of a high school diploma by completing classes and passing required exams.

A high school completion certificate indicates that you attended high school for the minimum number of days required for completion but did not complete all graduation requirements (for example, did not pass the number of courses required for a diploma).

If you completed high school in a country other than the United States, indicate attended a foreign high school.

If you did not attend a traditional public or private high school but instead were taught at home by a parent or some other individual, indicate home schooled.

If you have not yet completed high school, indicate Did not complete high school or a high school equivalency program.

Degrees:

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A doctoral degree-research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Certificates and Diplomas:

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

Not enrolled for a degree or certificate:

Undergraduate level classes means taking courses at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

Graduate level classes are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are enrolled in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but who are not formally enrolled in a graduate degree program.

The AA (Associate of Arts) degree typically requires 2 years of study and is designed for persons planning traditional liberal arts education in such fields as art, English, and history.

The AS (Associate of Science) degree typically requires 2 years of study and is designed for persons planning professional careers in mathematics, science, engineering, or health.

The AAS (Associate of Applied Science) degree usually requires 2 years of study and is designed for persons who desire training for specific occupations or technical careers.

The AGS (Associate of General Studies) and AGE (Associate of General Education) degrees are intended for students who wish to earn an associate's degree with no specific major or pattern of courses. As a result, it provides students with the flexibility to design their program of study either for upgrading skills for a job or occupation, or for transfer to a 4-year school.

Tell us whether you completed any degrees or certificates at any college, university, or trade school after high school, but before attending [NPSAS] in the 2011-2012 academic year.

Degree or certificate programs include:
Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

A doctoral degree-research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Degrees:

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A doctoral degree-research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Certificates and Diplomas:

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

Indicate if your enrollment at [OTHER SCHOOL] is/was for a degree or certificate program or for classes only.

Degree or certificate programs include:

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

A doctoral degree-research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Classes only mean:

Mostly undergraduate-level classes means taking courses mostly at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

Mostly graduate-level classes are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are enrolled in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but who are not formally enrolled in a graduate degree program.

Degrees:

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A doctoral degree-research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Certificates and Diplomas:

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

If you plan to attend any college, university or trade school between July 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 for a degree or certificate, answer Yes.

Answer Yes whether you are continuing with an uncompleted current degree or certificate, or whether you are starting a new degree or certificate.

A trade school offers instruction in skilled trades.

Degree or certificate programs include:

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

A doctoral degree-research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

If you will be attending classes only at any time between July 2013 and December 2014, answer "No."

Classes only means:

Mostly undergraduate-level classes means taking mostly taking courses at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

Mostly graduate-level classes are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are mostly enrolled in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but who are not formally enrolled in a graduate degree program.

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

Graduate level courses, no graduate degree or certificate expected means already holding an undergraduate degree or certificate and enrolling in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but not expecting to formally enroll in a graduate degree program.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

A doctoral degree, research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A professional doctoral degree is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); Podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

If you are currently repaying any private student loans, even if you are still in your deferment period, please select Yes.

Deferred or delayed loan payments are put off until a later date. Deferment of private loans is on a loan-by-loan basis and often varies among lenders. In order to defer private loan payments, generally, the borrower must apply online on the lender's website, over the telephone, via fax or through postal mail. The application may also require supporting documentation, such as a copy of your paycheck stub, unemployment compensation statement, disability award letter or a certified letter from your school verifying your enrollment status. If you are not currently repaying your private loans and have an agreement with the lender of these loans to delay or defer payments, select No, because I have an agreement with my lender to delay or defer payments.

A federal Stafford loan is an educational loan borrowed directly from the federal government (Direct Loans), with an interest rate and other terms that are set by the federal government. Students must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to be considered for Stafford loan eligibility. Undergraduate and graduate level students are eligible to receive Stafford loans, which can be either subsidized or unsubsidized.

The Perkins Loan is awarded to undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need. This is a campus-based loan program, with the school acting as the lender using a limited pool of funds provided by the federal government.

 

A federal Graduate and Professional PLUS loan is an educational loan borrowed directly from the federal government (Direct Loans), with an interest rate and other terms that are set by the federal government. Students must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Only graduate level students are eligible to receive Graduate and Professional PLUS loans, which are unsubsidized. Students also must show they are creditworthy or have a cosigner.

Indicate whether you are currently repaying your federal student loans.

Federal student loan payments are usually made to loan holders or servicers, although some federal student loans, like a Perkins loan, may be made to a school. A federal loan payment is the amount that you are repaying on your federal student loans.

If you are not currently repaying any federal student loans because of a repayment plan with your loan holder or servicer, or if you are currently in deferment or forebearance on your federal student loans, answer No.

If you are currently repaying no federal student loans because you have already paid off your loan amount (including any interest owed), answer No, because they are already paid off.

Benefits are a type of non-monetary employee compensation provided in addition to salary. Indicate "yes" for each benefit your employer offered to you, regardless of whether or not you used the benefit.

Health insurance pays all or part of the costs for your medical, dental, vision, or other health care. It may be either completely employer-paid, or offered at a reduced rate as an employee-paid benefit.

Life insurance provides a predetermined amount of money to the family member or other person you have identified to receive the support in case of death. It may be either completely employer-paid, or offered at a reduced rate as an employee-paid benefit.

Retirement benefits are funds that you, your employer, or both, can set aside to invest while you are working. In defined benefit plans (sometimes called pension plans), at the time of retirement, employees are provided a set amount based on salary or years of service. In defined contribution plans like a 401(k)/403(b), both employee and employer contribute specific amounts but the benefit available upon retirement is tied to investment earnings.

Answer Yes if you or anyone in your family household received any of the following benefits between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013:

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources. It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people who have little or no income and provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.

The federal Food Stamp Program was renamed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Some state program names may vary. States typically issue SNAP benefits through electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards that are used to purchase eligible food in authorized retail food stores, farmers' markets, etc. EBT cards work like debit cards.

TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) payments provide financial assistance to families with limited resources. The assistance is time-limited (typically a maximum of 60 months).

Household size and family income are used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price school lunches in the Free and Reduced Price School Lunch program.

WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) is an assistance program for low-income pregnant women or new mothers, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. WIC provides nutrition education, supplemental foods, health screenings, and health care referrals.
