Talk:ACT (test)/to do

Correct the grammar in intro paragraph to remove bias

"In February 2005, an optional writing test was added to the ACT, mirroring changes to the SAT later that year."

How can something created in February mirror something created later that year? If the ACT added Writing before SAT added it, then SAT mirrored ACT. ACT did not mirror SAT. The current phrasing suggests bias by implying that ACT follows or marches to SAT's beat.

Suggested correction:

In February 2005, an optional writing test was added to the ACT, mirrored by changes to the SAT later that year.

 * I think while the writing test was added to the ACT before the SAT it was the SAT that first purposed adding it years before (it takes years for these tests to be changed) and it was the SAT that first started testing the addition of the writing test. However i don't think we can say (without a cite) that one 'mirrored' the other (we certanly can't based on when they were implemented in the test itself).harlock_jds (talk)
