Moving the Dial on SAT and ACT Scores
Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012, 2–3 p.m. ETUnderwriting for the content of this online chat has been provided by The Lumina Foundation.
In recent years, scores on college-entrance tests have been virtually flat. More students than ever are taking the exams, which the testing organizations say explain, in part, the lack of improvement. States and districts are ramping up efforts to improve college readiness. What will it take for schools to see dramatic improvements in SAT and ACT scores? Representatives from both testing organizations joined us for a live chat to discuss the latest scores from the class of 2012 and offered recommendations for moving the dial.
Steve Kappler, assistant vice president for educational services, ACT
