Agreed. I got in a debate with a "college student" the other day on Facebook ... she could barely string three words together and had several typos in every sentence.
had my girls start taking the ACT in 6th grade through NUMATS. No the scores weren’t great, but it got them oriented toward what it takes to just do the exam. Both scored 18 the first go round. Last year my oldest as a sophmore scored 26. Which is considered above college ready.
