What will the ACT look like in 10 years?

<p>How much do you think it will change, if at all? What would you like it to be like? Personally I think it should be done on computer so you can get your results instantly(still have paper booklet, but put answers on computer). Maybe given more often, like once or twice a month. Probably won't be changed, but standardized testing seems to be on the decline with many colleges. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Computers? ehhh i dont know how that would work, and i personally hate having to use computers for tests because i find them distracting. Yeah, I don't know what they could really do to change the decline of standardized testing, probably not much, since the entire concept is not a great way of determining a student's intelligence.</p>

<p>I like paper, but I would like sooner turn around times.</p>

<p>I don't know if it will change, but I would like more frequent test dates.</p>

<p>More problems for the high school because they have to do it so many times(not just ACT but also the SAT), but so much more money for ACT. I think ACT should look into it. It won't matter for me next year since I wont' be taking it, but it should be like 10 times a year I think, and it should be at least 5-6 between August and December.</p>

<p>i think that ACT and SAT should set up testing centers. I would pay 50 bucks to go into a testing center and take it straight from the source. They could offer tests year round. Hell, they could make everyone test in a single person booth and have the whole process run by a computer monitor.</p>

<p>That would mean thousands of test centers, millions of desks, the power to supply all those centers, and pretty much everything else that public schools around the nation have.</p>

<p>it's a bad idea in general imo cause we don't live in a standardized world</p>

<p>Eventually they might use brain scanning, but they have to find some direct correlations between the number of neurons and your performance. While it wont' be a big factor, imagine trying to increase your neurons as if someone is trying to increase their SAT score.</p>

<p>Quite honestly they just need to improve education overall, not standardized testing scores. I feel like the government is staring in disbelief about how 50 million kids aren't excited about spending 90 minutes in a class sitting down listening to someone talk about stuff that doesn't matter to them.</p>
