ACT Poll

Hey everyone!

Long story short, I am doing a project on the ACT and would love to hear some opinions. My "focus" questions are "How do we know the ACT question creation process accurately assesses our knowledge?" and "How do we know the scores are truely representative of our success in college?"

For students (and/or parents):

What was your ACT experience?
Did you find that the ACT score correlated with your GPA?
Do your think the ACT accurately assesses your knowledge?

For teachers:

Do you think the ACT covers information necessary for college admission?

Anyone:

Did it test your knowledge, or was it testing your ACT testing abilities (a.k.a. how well you know the test)?

Anyone who knows anything specific about the ACT's question creation process or how they create the "curve" I would love to know!

P.S. For those of you in IB - this is a ToK project, please help!
