The ACT

As I was taking the ACT last Saturday I wondered about the nature of the test. Is the ACT a fair test?

I am not talking about cheating, but preparation. As a New Trier student, one might find it ridiculous that someone else did not study or practice for the ACT. The reality is that many people have no preparation. Without tutors and study guides, some students walk in the testing room not knowing what to expect. So then the question is, does preparing for the ACT give students an unfair advantage?

Since the test can determine what colleges one gets into, it can have a big impact on their life. Some say studying helps, others say it does not. What do you think?
