[Counselors] Junior ACT Pilot Program

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

We gave the pilot online ACT last year, and it did not go well at all.  Students could not log on, and some did not finish until almost 2:00 because of the technical issues.  We chose paper/pencil this year because of our experience previously.

Are any schools giving the ACT online? We chose to give the ACT online, but after giving the Aspire in the Fall we are reconsidering that decision. We gave the ACT Aspire Summative in the Fall and had a lot of computer resetting issues. I spoke to an Aspire Rep. and they said they had a lot of those issues and were working to fix them. It makes me nervous to give the ACT online after all those resetting issues because we had A LOT. Any thoughts?
