Why Do College Students Get Paid?

Every year millions of students sign up to take the American College Test program, ACT or the Scholastic Aptitude Test, SAT for college. For a chance to get accepted to a school and for the possibility of scholarships. So for students who do not make the minimum score to go to a university, lose the chances to get a scholarship or even to go to a university. The ACT and SAT have several sections within the test. The two tests predict how well a student will do in college, even though they measure how much the student remembers from his previous classes. The readiness of a student cannot be determined by a test score. When considering a student for admission, a university looks at the student's ACT and SAT scores along with his GPA. The ACT

It is a standardized test for high school achievement and college admissions. With a good score the ACT can help a student financially. With a certain score a student can receive a scholarship. The higher the score is, the higher the scholarship money is.The ACT is broken down into four tests. Math, reading, english and science are the four main subjects. Later writing was added into the test, but the writing portion is optional. McManus states, “The ACT, on the other hand, is a test of educational development and measures how much the student has already learned.” A student must remember everything that he has been taught. Which can be difficult to remember everything. Each student has three hours to take the test. The english portion of the test requires the student to know how to fix essay. It measures standard written English and rhetorical skills. McManus says, “The ACT English Test now emphasizes writing style and organization over the mechanics of punctuation and grammar.” Whether a student does the writing portion of the test or not, he still has corrections in other peoples essays to fix in the english test. The english portion takes 45 minutes for 75 multiple choice questions. The math portion of the test takes 60 minutes to answer 60 multiple choice questions. McManus states, "The ACT Math Test has been expanded to provide more test questions in the outer polarities for students in advanced classes as well as

The test measures a student's literacy and writing skills that he will need for college. The test takes three hours. There are three sections in the SAT. Math, reading and writing, plus an experimental section which could be extra testing over reading, math or grammar. Atkinson states, “ Of the various tests that make up the SAT I aptitude and the SAT II achievement tests, the best single predictor of student performance turned out to be the SAT II writing test. This test is the only one of the group that requires students to write something in addition to answering multiple-choice items. Given the importance of writing ability at the college level, it should not be surprising that a test of actual writing skills correlates strongly with freshman grades.” The SATs writing test has been a positive outcome for colleges and students. The SATs writing portion of the test take 60 minutes. The student has 25 minutes to looks over an essay and corrects any errors, and then there is 35 minutes of grammar questions. The math test takes 70 minutes. “It is possible to do well on the mathematical section of the SAT without having had courses beyond first-year algebra. The College Board Technical Handbook states that the "mathematical section of the SAT [SAT-M] consists predominantly of material commonly covered in the first nine grades" (Donlon 1984, 5).
