ACT test scores fall to lowest levels in 32 years
ACT test scores fall to lowest levels in 32 years
The class of 2023 had the worst ACT performance in more than three decades, according to newly released data from the nonprofit that administers the college admissions test.
Why it matters: The scores are the latest indication of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on education, with academic performance and test scores declining at all levels. The 2023 cohort was in its first year of high school when the pandemic began.
This generation probably realizes that college is an overpriced scam and humanity is probably fucked, so the test is irrelevant.
That doesn't track. Why pay money and schedule a date to do poorly on the ACT? Should the scores not go up if only the people who know they are going to college take the test?
This class did a big chunk of their highschool through the pandemic didn't they? I imagine they probably are a bit behind because of it.
