College Admissions Test Scores Drop to Lowest in 32 Years

I definitely know what is happening now, but what was happening in 1991???

As far as I can recall, it was a good year.

A damn good year.

High school students’ scores on the ACT college admissions test have dropped to their lowest in more than three decades, showing a lack of student preparedness for college-level coursework, according to the nonprofit organization that administers the test.

Scores have been falling for six consecutive years, but the trend accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students in the class of 2023 whose scores were reported Wednesday were in their first year of high school when the virus reached the U.S.

“The hard truth is that we are not doing enough to ensure that graduates are truly ready for postsecondary success in college and career,” said Janet Godwin, chief executive officer for the nonprofit ACT.

Bitch, it doesn’t matter.

Robots!

You stupid ass bitch!

Have you not been paying attention at all???

That college shit is over!

Robots are already in control!

The average ACT composite score for U.S. students was 19.5 out of 36. Last year, the average score was 19.8.

The average scores in reading, science and math all were below benchmarks the ACT says students must reach to have a high probability of success in first-year college courses. The average score in English was just above the benchmark but still declined compared to last year.

Many universities have made standardized admissions tests optional amid criticism that they favor the wealthy and put low-income students at a disadvantage. Some including the University of California system do not consider ACT or SAT scores even if submitted.

Yeah, see?

George Floyd!

The shit doesn’t matter! It’s racist!

It’s whatever, bitch.

It’s just whatever.

Shit doesn’t matter.

Just stop bugging people.

This shit doesn’t matter.
