The relevance is income level. Higher income dropped the least. Impoverished dropped the most. Insofar as other categorizations (race, ethnicity, geographic region) track income, those groups performed accordingly.


But far fewer people took the ACT than in previous years.

It's a little misleading.

Most top schools don't require the ACT/SAT any more so lots of kids would have chosen not to take it.

This could easily push scores down as weaker students take it while stronger students opt out.

So ... /inmybestjoebidenwhisper/ ... the applicants take the test, just as they would have.

If they do well, they submit it.

If not ....

... well

.... don't let Tish"Peekaboo"James find out you've dodged submitting a low score, lest she claim you advantaged yourself of existing rules, and sue you for $300M.

may not be required, but a good score can help with admission AND many scholarship dollars are tied to those test scores

I’d say that most top students still take the test (for scholarship money)
