America has always
prided itself on having a comprehensive educational system, but the truth is
that not all students in the country are eligible for college education. To be
accepted into college, a high school graduate must show a favorable aptitude in
subject areas such as mathematics, English, reading, and the sciences. This
skill level is measured through a nationwide exam called the ACT.
The ACT is one of two
college readiness exams—the other one being the SAT—that tests high school
graduates for their learning capacity. The main difficulty lies in the fact
that students may have a poor time recalling previous lessons in time for the
ACT. This is why students will have to prepare themselves accordingly for the
ACT by way of review sessions.
The coverage of the ACT
is broad, spanning questions across a broad variety of topics. This is intended
to gauge a student's mastery over
essential subject areas. However, not everybody can recall their
previous lessons so easily. It would help to have a refresher course on earlier
courses just before taking the ACT. In the end, the ACT exists not only as a
prerequisite for college but also a mechanism that helps preserve the country's
high educational standards.
