Why is there no ACT testing in NY on February?

<p>Just curious... I heard there is a legislation that prevents February NY testing but I'm not sure what's the logic behind it.</p>

<p>There may not be a logical reason.</p>

<p>The world will never know.</p>

<p>It’s going to happen again in 2013 and in 2014… who knows…</p>

<p>Expecting another tropical storm again? LOL.
The one this year was postponed.</p>

<p>There is no February ACT test in NY state, it has been that way for years (at least 10, probably more).</p>

<p>As far as I know, the education laws in NY required that test takers be allowed to get any standardized tests given in that state to be returned to them so that they can see the test questions and answers. (This law was called the “Truth In Testing” law.) Later the law granted a partial exemption to the ETS and required them to reveal at least 4 tests per year (this is why there are 4 QAS exams released per year: three Saturdays and one Sunday).</p>

<p>ACT, Inc. was not granted an exemption. I believe they don’t administer the February test in order to avoid having to release it.</p>

<p>(If you are really bored but want to read the law for yourself, google: New York Education Law, Title 1, Article 7-A, Section 342).</p>

<p>@Fignewton, wow! You know a lot!</p>

<p>And, was it new york that made the ets have to start realeasing questions? If it was, new york is badass! Haha im proud to be a new yorker! We dont take crap!!</p>
