官方模考？！ACT宣布启动PreACT考试

Posted 2021-05-01 ACT考试指南

PreACT 考试之前先考试？

小编今天上午在例行逛ACT官网摸鱼的时候，发现了这个...

然后，发现了首页右侧出现了这么个消息，和ACT遥遥相对...

一个大写的蒙逼...PreACT这是啥！

看介绍很高大上的样子...准备ACT考试的新方法？恩，点进去看看...

哦，是一篇新闻报道...

原文如下（懒得看的后面有小编的提炼版）：

New Assessment Will Help Prepare Students for ACT Testing Experience, Predict ACT Score

ACT today announces the launch of PreACT™, a 10th grade multiple-choice assessment that helps students prepare for the experience of taking the ACT® test and provides information regarding their future performance on the exam. The new test will be available to schools, districts and states starting in the fall.

“PreACT will provide valuable insights on college and career readiness to students, educators and schools while students still have time to make adjustments and improve,” said ACT Chief Executive Officer Marten Roorda. “It’s an affordable tool to help empower students and educators with information they can use to better prepare for the ACT and the future.”

The paper-based PreACT is patterned after the ACT, using the same types of test questions, same score scale, and same format. It is designed to model the ACT test experience, providing students with the ultimate preparation and practice.

PreACT includes exams in English, mathematics, reading and science, just like the ACT test, but does not have a writing test. Scores will be reported on the same 1-36 scale as the ACT, but PreACT includes fewer questions and will take less time to administer than the ACT.

Through the free ACT Interest Inventory, PreACT will also provide insights to help students explore college major and career options and start planning for their future.

“We developed PreACT to meet a need for a 10th grade measurement and guidance tool that can be administered easily and affordably and that offers fast, helpful results,” said Suzana Delanghe, ACT chief commercial officer. “The introduction of this new assessment is a direct result of ACT listening to what our customers are telling us and taking action on their feedback.”

PreACT score reports will offer a broad view of students’ college and career readiness, identifying academic strengths and areas for improvement and providing information about careers that match students interests. School score reports will provide data to help teachers and counselors target interventions, inform classroom instruction and guide students in course selection.

PreACT, ACT Online Prep and the ACT test form a sequence of college and career readiness solutions for students from grade 10 through graduation. The sequence joins ACT Aspire Early High School in ACT’s menu of offerings for the high school level.

Schools, districts and states can begin ordering PreACT in May. The cost will be $12 per student tested.

小编扫了一眼，恩，大致说了这么几件事：

首先，ACT官方搞了一个新玩意，叫PreACT考试项目...

干啥用的？官方是这样解释的，PreACT考试能够增加计划参加ACT入学考试学生的经验并预测考试分数，是衡量ACT考试的有效工具...

ACT首席执行官Marten Roorda先生表示：“PreACT能为学生、教育者和学校的入学与职业准备提供有价值的信息和视角，让学生有时间针对个人情况做出调整和改进。”Roorda先生还说：“PreACT考试是衡量ACT考试的有效工具——学生和老师利用PreACT的信息对ACT考试进行更充分地准备。”

啥时候正式开始？PreACT将于今年秋季在美国各学校、区及州开始实行，好多小白鼠呢~

针对谁？首先是针对美国10年级学生，国际学生嘛，没说，毫无疑问的被忽略了...

具体考啥？PreACT以ACT入学考试为模板，采用纸质试卷进行答题。考试题型、分数及考察结构均与ACT入学考试相同（包含英语、数学、阅读和科学科目的测试，不含写作；计分原则也遵循ACT入学考试的36分制，相比题量较少，学生需要的时间也相对较短）。PreACT旨在为参加ACT入学考试的学生增加经验，为学生提供最终的考试准备与练习机会。

有啥好处？结合ACT入学考试的兴趣调查，PreACT将为学生提供进行大学专业与职业选择的信息及视角，并帮助学生对未来进行规划。教师和顾问们可以根据分数数据有针对性地制定计划进行课堂教学并指导学生选课。

ACT的首席商务官Suzana Delanghe表示：“PreACT考试能够满足10年级学生在自我评估和指导方面的需求。学生通过参加PreACT考试，能够针对较为薄弱的学科快速、有效地进行管理。推出PreACT考试，是ACT广泛听取各界人员的建议并对建议进行反馈的结果。”

看完之后，相信机智小天使们都发现了：

这是10年级的福音！这个事针对10年级的学生，虽然估摸着这个时候他们还木有关注小编我...而且，暂时和国际考生没啥关系QAQ，以后会不会大范围推广暂且不知道，有木有一种一毕业学校就装修的既视感...作为老鸟，我们只能是羡慕嫉妒恨了。

然后，读完了相信大家都有一种这样的感觉——这不就是个官方版的“模考”吗...恩，作为一个即将上线的新产品，小编对此持有既保持期待又质疑的态度，是鸡肋还是救命稻草？其价值有待北美小白鼠们测试，不知道考了之后对于正版ACT考试的帮助到底有多大...

而且，对于不受版权限制手握大量真题的我们来说，是不是只是一个入门级的测试练习的作用呢？和用真题进行模考有什么区别？这些都有待用真实数据说话+权威专家解读。不过嘛~有一点是可以肯定的！又将有新的备考资料可以刷了...

小编这里还是要表扬下ACT官方，ACT真是在下很大一盘棋！已经逐步地升级到了，备考指导、学业规划职业准备的全方位服务平台，真是越来越周到了，想来这些年和SAT搞竞争真是不容易...

PreACT， AOP（ACT在线备考课程）以及ACT考试组成了一系列针对10年级到高中毕业的学生在入学和职业准备方面的解决方法。这些方法同ACT Aspire Early High School共同构成ACT为高中学生提供服务的平台。

最后，小编用一句话总结下：ACT官方“机智”的为我们提供了一种新的备考方法——那就是参加ACT考试之前先参加个PreACT考试以此来争取考试中获得更好的成绩，恩，另类官方的“模考”？你们觉得呢？
