The American College Testing Program (ACT) is a comprehensive, guidance-oriented service that helps colleges, high schools, and students in transition from high school to college. Students participate in the program by completing an educational/biographical questionnaire, an interest inventory, and four tests of educational development in English, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Natural Sciences. After analyzing the information obtained, ACT prepares reports for use by students, high schools, and colleges in career and college planning, admissions, and placement, and academic advising. More than 2700 colleges and universities and other agencies accept ACT scores in lieu of SAT 1 Scores. The ACT is an achievement test. Achievement tests often reward the student who works hard more than an aptitude test like the SAT 1. Juniors achieving less than satisfactory results on a SAT I taken in the Spring may wish to consider taking the ACT during the Fall of the Senior year. The ACT is offered several times during the year at locations throughout the Columbia area to include Spring Valley High School.

Extractions: Most colleges require applicants to take either the ACT or SAT. These are standardized tests that some schools used only for placement purposes, but most use as one of the indicators for admission. You should check the information you have received from the schools youre interested in to find out what tests they require and how they are used. ACT or SAT? The two tests are very different although most colleges will take the results of either one. (Cincinnati State Technical and Community College requires neither but gives its own placement test.) It is very difficult to predict on which test you will do better. At MND we recommend that you take both tests in the spring of your junior year. By that time, you will have finished a lot of the coursework tested and you will have enough time to take the test again in the fall if you want to try to improve your score. Most, not all, students score higher the second time. You could limit retakes to the one on which you do better. The ACT tests four areas: English, math, reading, and science reasoning. Calculators are not allowed during the math test. Each area is scored separately, a score ranging from 1-36. A composite score is also given. The ACT is considered an achievement test and is designed to assess what you have learned in order to determine readiness for college level work. There is no penalty for guessing on the ACT. An ACT score is necessary to be considered for the Ohio Academic Scholarship. The ACT will offer an optional 30 minute writing section starting in the school year 2004-2005.

Extractions: The High School Plan Many colleges and universities require standardized tests, including the SAT I and SAT II and/or ACT. These tests enable colleges to compare the academic achievements of students from different schools and help determine who is best suited for study at their respective institutions. PSAT/NMSQT The Preliminary Scholastic Achievement Test (PSAT) is a "practice test" for the SAT I. With the same format as the SAT I, the PSAT is a useful predictor of SAT I scores. Most students' performance improves slightly by the time that they actually take the SAT I. The PSAT is not required, though it is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Those achieving the highest scores in the country are named National Merit finalists and National Merit winners and are often eligible for scholarships. The PSAT is normally taken in the fall of either the sophomore or junior year of high school. A student can obtain the registration information from his or her school college office or guidance counselor. SAT I: Reasoning Test The SAT I: Reasoning Test is a timed (3 hour) test, which measures mathematical and verbal reasoning abilities. Most colleges and universities require it for admission. Students should take the SAT I either in the spring of junior year or fall of senior year. It is preferable to take it in the junior year, for if a student wishes to improve the score, it can be retaken in time for scores to be sent to colleges. High school guidance and college offices have forms to pre-register; it is important to observe registration dates. Students with disabilities may make arrangements, including un-timed exams, to accommodate their needs.

How can I prepare? The SAT I and the ACT are both standardized college admissions tests. These test scores let you compare your academic preparation and ability with nearly 2 million students who take these tests each year. Although your high school record - your grades, class rank, etc. - is the best single indicator of how well you will do in college, these tests give you a chance to show colleges what you know and can do independent of your grades. Your score on these tests can be a major part of the college admissions process. The higher you score, the better your chances of getting into a good school, or even qualifying for a scholarship. The good news is that these tests are not a measure of intelligence, they’re just standardized tests. That means they test the same skills every time.
Extractions: OCR's Testing (Mis)Guidance: Anti-Education, Anti-Civil Rights Roger Clegg * The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights ("OCR") has decided to wade into the controversy surrounding the use of standardized tests in primary, secondary, and higher education. In the spring last year, OCR began circulating "draft guidelines" on "Nondiscrimination in High-Stakes Testing." The draft was leaked, apparently by disgruntled college admission officers, to The Chronicle of Higher Education, which put the guidelines on its website. Much controversy ensued, culminating in OCR head Norma Cantu being brought in to testify before the House Education and Workforce Committee in July. Cantu protested that the draft was just preliminary and promised that future drafts would be more widely shared. In December, a revised version — still just a draft — was released, with a considerably longer text and title: "The Use of Tests When Making High-Stakes Decisions for Students: A Resource Guide for Educators and Policymakers." The guidelines, which challenge the use of standardized tests when they have a "disparate impact" on racial or ethnic groups, remain deeply and fundamentally flawed, however.
