[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truth is, more time on a (proctored, closed book) standardized test doesn’t make you smarter or enable you to know more. It just gives people a chance to show what they already know/can do. [/quote] The ACT is a tightly timed test. It’s not hard content, but it requires the student to answer quickly and move on, and many students simply can’t finish each section. You’ll notice that everyone who gets accomodations takes the ACT and not the SAT, and gets a significantly higher score than they did without extra time. The SAT allows for a slower pace, so the score increase is never as dramatic. Anyone could get a dramatically higher score with extra time on the ACT.[/quote]
