The purpose of this quantitative descriptive study is to explore the relationship between critical thinking and academic preparedness among community college students. Specifically, does critical thinking differ between prepared and underprepared students? Four hundred participants contributed to archived data used in this study. Participants were previously administered California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) and ACCUPLACER reading test. The major findings of this study were found at the 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the Pearson r correlation coefficient showed a moderately significant relationship between critical thinking skills and academic preparedness. Results of the independent t-test and ANOVA showed a significant difference in scores between placement level and critical thinking among underprepared, specific difference occurs between low placement and high placement. Results for the independent t-test and ANOVA also showed a significant difference in scores between academic prepared and underprepared students on the California Critical Thinking Skills Subtest. Findings by other researchers (Eisenberg, 2004; Miri, David, & Uri, 2007; Reed & Stavrea, 2006) and those of this study support the need to improve critical thinking skills within curricula as it supports information literacy. Implications for educational leaders include recognizing the importance of teaching critical thinking skills to take measures necessary to correct the inadequacy by incorporating critical thinking skills within curriculum design to produce information literate individuals.
