FairTest on ACT Results

According to Bob Schaeffer, Public Education Director of FairTest, the lowest ACT scores since 1991 were not surprising given the “unprecedented disruptions of education” in the past two years. Schaeffer pinned the decline in ACT exam takers to the proliferation of test-optional and test-free policies in college admissions, representing over 1800 or about 80% of four-year schools. The ACT is losing relevance and revenue as college test-optional policies take root.
