Article is a fraud, a couple of percentage points doesn\'t amount to a whit. The biggest joke is that any preparation is needed for college- which is another joke. Just another phony scam press release to cut loose more money to be wasted on attempting to educate the uneducable.
Interesting they have test for scientific reasoning- so took a looksee. It\'s some pretty boring stuff, and the idea of calling it reasoning is a stretch.

Why is it any kind of fuck-up?
The kids could have used more preparation, but it isn\'t going to make much difference to their performance in tertiary education.
The ACT tests are more a rank ordering system than any serious assessment of how well students are prepared for tertiary education, which demands different kinds of skills than does secondary education, and ones that aren\'t easy to assess in couple hours spent working through a test paper.
Gnatguy wouldn\'t know much about that, as any of those kind of skills he might once have had don\'t seem to show up in his posts here.
