National ACT results just dropped, and they have fallen to a thirty-year low. The hosts talk standardized tests and break down the results by race and other important demographics. Dave and Marty also debate whether low scores are a sign of student failures or a need to change the tests themselves. Mark Peterson with the Utah State Board of Education tunes in to unpack whether ACT scores are accurate signposts of college readiness. Peterson and the hosts discuss the nuts and bolts of standardized tests in college applications and the current trend of universities removing it from their requirements.
