The ACT Test – a basic entry requirement for thousands of US colleges and universities – will be administered on computers at international test centres as of September 2018. The reasons for this change are two-fold: primarily to reduce the amount of leaked questions and secondly to release the test scores in less time (in the old form the test scores took 5-8 weeks with the computer-based test the scores will be available in just 2-3 weeks). It is rumoured that the ACT will develop computer adaptive tests in the future to adapt to the level of the respective test taker – if the test taker answers a question correctly then the next one will be more difficult and vice versa. The idea is that the cats will be separated from the pigeons, rendering admissions officers at universities a more objective picture of the prospective candidate.
In the meantime the Collegeboard has got off to bad start for the academic year 2018-9 as it has been accused of giving certain students an advantage because it used a previously administered SAT test.
