Iowa City, Iowa— Ever since November 7, 1959, the ACT has been developing and delivering its
standardized tests to high school students to assess their academic achievement and college
readiness.

In New York State, the ACT has administrated tests every April, June, September, October and
December. Unfortunately, it, under the Truth-in-Testing law, became the only state without ACT
test centers in February and July. As recent as this September, New York State is taking action to
make February testing come into reality.

This year, 40.9 percent of the New York high school graduates took the ACT tests two or more
times and had an average composite score of 26.1. It is an obvious difference to an average of
23.4 for the 59.1 percent who simply took the test once.

愛阿華城 愛阿華州— 從1959年11月7日那天開始，「美國大學考試」就一直在發展和提供一套針對高
中學生的標準考試，測試他們的學習所知和升學準備。

在紐約州，非營利性質的「美國大學考試」，每年在四月、六月、九月、十月和十二月定期舉辦標準考
試。但是很不幸地是，紐約州由於受到一項法律的影響，是全國各州之中唯一沒有在二月和七月排定標
考日期的州。這樣對於十一年級學生特別不方便。因此，今年九月以來，紐約州政府、議會亟思準備採
取行動，落實明年二月可以排定考期。

今年夏天紐約州的高中畢業生，有百分之四十點九的人參加兩次或者更多次的標準考試，他們的平均總
分為26.1分(滿分是36分)；還有百分之五十九點一的人，只是應考一次，他們的平均總分為23.4分；兩
者差距明顯。
