[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If speed shouldn’t be a factor why does ACT make it a huge factor for normal kids?[/quote] Exactly. Because it's more difficult/more expensive to write a test that distinguishes top students in other ways. As long as ACT and SAT are being used as some sort of high school graduation benchmark in some states, perhaps they can't write a test that's any harder than Common Core. Literally the bottom line for these companies focuses on the middle of the pack. Distinguishing among top students doesn't pay nearly as well as state contracts.[/quote] Plus, each company probably thinks their test will be viewed more favorably by state education administrators if they can show gains among certain demographic groups.[/quote]
