in every act i’ve ever taken, i along with about half of the students in the room with me have finished their section when the buzzer goes off. as for a measure of intelligence, those that do not finish are showing, by getting most if not all of their guessed answers wrong, that they are unable to complete the test material in the allotted time. their inability is a test result.

mom and carol, i would have to respectfully disagree with you. the act is designed with the strict and fast paced time schedule because it is intended to test both knowledge of the student and their time management skills. in the workforce, looking beyond college, companies look for the employee that can work well and efficiently under stressful circumstances and meet timely deadlines.
i am actually a current junior in high school right now and just took the act in april. this is just what i have concluded from my experience taking and preparing for the standardized act test.

my son said the same thing! he and most everyone else were not able to complete most sections. he just marked random answers in case he hit one right. i felt the same way, not enough time and then guessing is not a true sign of what their capabilities are today.

my son said when he looked around, no one was finished with the specific sections and that everyone was just filling in the bubbles as quickly as they could.
as a parent, running out of time and guessing is not a true indication of intelligence. i’m not happy with this new test. .

in reply to misty.

they haven’t really compiled the data for 2016 yet, so that’s a really good question! the recent changes to the act aren’t actually designed to make the test more difficult. so new scores shouldn’t be impacted– in theory at least. it’s possible that students may find the new format changes more challenging. only time will tell, although if that does prove to be the case, the act will probably try to make a few more adjustments, as “more difficult” was not what they were aiming for.
