It has become common to have to pass the ACT Work Keys test to get just about any job. Most companies require a silver level score or above.

It is a fair test. How come nobody gets to file suit against employers for requiring a passing score on the Work Keys test? Our company requires it be taken when being considered for a promotion to a new position.

Be patient. If this terrible decision stands, other tests will be up for "review" also.

ACT Work Keys test
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I looked this up since I had never heard of it. Very, very interesting! Gee! And to think that a high school diploma was proof enough that a person was literate and numerate.

I have an idea!

If any **child** of any age choses to take the ACT Work Keys tests and passes with a high enough score, give that child an official high school diploma!

Let the child use the remainder of what would have been spent on a wasting time in high school on college tuition or trade school training.

Benefits:
1) Child starts work earlier and the state gets more taxes.
2) Fewer teachers means fewer pensions for the state to fund.
3) Less college debt for the child.
