Extractions: VOLUME 35 NUMBER 2 In June, the College Board unveiled plans for a retooled SAT that the board says will better reflect what students learn in high school. Beginning in spring 2005, the test will include a writing section, new reading questions and more advanced mathematics. "The College Board says the changes will relate more closely to high school curriculums and more accurately predict a student's performance in college," said Betsy A. Porter, director of Pitt's Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. "Some people, myself included, say: 'Well, that remains to be seen.'" Like some other university admissions officials as well as many high school guidance counselors and students themselves Porter has mixed feelings about the SAT and standardized tests in general. "There probably is no definite answer as to whether standardized tests are enormously or somewhat helpful, or not helpful at all," she said. "On the one hand, it's helpful to have something in addition to individual high school grades and class rankings, something that reflects a national norm. But I also think that standardized tests can be very harmful to students' psyches and can be especially damaging to the very students who need their academic self-confidence built up.

Extractions: We realize you've spent the better half of your time studying and taking tests. But none will be as important as your college admission and placement test(s). Colleges use these test scores to help determine admission. And while it's just one of the many tools used to determine your acceptance, the results are important. The best indication of how you will do in college is a measure of how well you can perform the skills necessary for college coursework. The ACT Assessment measures these skills in English, mathematics, reading and science reasoning. These areas are tested because they include the major areas of instruction in most high school and college programs.
