[Counselors] Junior ACT Pilot Program

Wed Jan 6 11:48:37 CST 2016

I am giving the ACT online.  I gave the paper pencil ACT Aspire and felt like myself that it would have been easier online. Just the hassle of packing it up and sending back everything. But I have a small number of students in each class and have an awesome technology instruction that helps me with all my online testing.

I agree.  I would not risk administering the ACT test online.  Aspire was very difficult/time consuming technical coordination, and was much more of a project than my time allows for.  In my experience, the paper/pencil ACT administration is clear and straightforward similar to Explore and Plan.  Good luck.

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?
