If those standardized tests need prep and study, they are not a good way to test someone knowledge. A test should never be over tricks and surprises or speed. This gives the wrong message about education, which should be about reasoning and accuracy .

[@josiahcaterino4788]

This test isn't designed to test knowledge or IQ. It's designed to weed out college applicants since it requires high attention to detail along with a complete understanding of basic concepts

[@greenapple6404]

Agreed. However, that is something we as students need to see in ourselves, that we are more than a standardized test. And since it is standardized, that is why you learn and master the tricks to get a good score.

[@autobreaux6245]

i think they are great tests but should be timed. someone’s abilities should not be judged on how fast they are

[@miaa1762]

@Amit Das that's like telling someone with a fear of snakes to get over it, while forcefully putting a snake on their head.

[@liagodino4221]

yes! as a student studying for the ACT I couldn’t agree more

[@hannah4710]

as an honors student with over a 4.0 gpa, the ACT does not always reflect YOU as a student. I am in top 5 people of my class and only got a 23. please do not fret if you are doing your best and still not receiving great results

[@charlesmann4553]

Look, I understand that the test doesn’t represent everyone perfectly but let’s be honest for a second: if you only got a 23 and you’re top of your class than either your school has terrible academics or you’re one of those super extra students who just asks a bunch of questions and strokes the teacher’s ego. Maybe if you got like a 29 that’d be understandable but a 23 for top of the class? Something has to be wrong with your school.

[@writeeat7364]

@@charlesmann4553 orrr there's the obvious issue of standardized tests reflecting an entirely different style of testing and not actually reflecting a damn thing about your intelligence/academic potential. If they did, you wouldn't have to study for them. They only test school subjects, after all. The fact that you need specific strategies for them says enough about what bs they are.

[@Triisttan]

I'm tied for 2nd in my class and got a 31, the person I'm tied with got a 24. We're both equally successful in every class and often work together, and have pretty much the exact same intellect. So yeah, it clearly isn't a perfect test and doesn't work for everyone.

it’s always actually been the hardest for me other than math, my mind always zoned out while reading those confusing excerpts and i forget everything i just read and get unmotivated when i don’t understand it which starts a pretty bad positive feedback loop lol

What are some tips for comprehending and organizing information from passages more effectively when the test is computerized and there are no tools such as pencils to use to my advantage??

[@brookifyd]

That's tough. I recommend retaking on a national test date at a center with paper testing. Every student is eligible to take the ACT on paper but if your school requires you take it on a computer that may mean a second take. As far as I know the "online" ACT is only being offered at a handful of schools as a school wide testing date option. But you can take notes as you read writing down each detail on your paper that is a number / value / vocabulary word to try to keep track of them in the meantime.

[@mattisencox8176]

Thank you for the quick response and the advice, I'll try it! My test is in a month and required by my state in order to graduate high school, and the online ACT is the only option currently offered by my school. Science is the one section I am having significant problems with when taking online practice tests due to the bulk of the information given for questions and the difficulty of organizing and remembering it without being able to write directly on the test.
