ACT: More Students Meeting College Readiness Benchmarks, But Racial Gap Persists: According to a report released Wednesday by ACT Inc., more students are prepared for college, but the vast majority of ACT test-takers—up to 75 percent—may need some form of remediation. And although minorities have been making gains in college preparedness, Hispanics and Blacks still lag behind Whites in meeting ACT's college preparedness benchmarks.
The report from the Iowa-based testing company, The Condition for College and Career Readiness, tracks scores on ACT subject tests (such as English, reading, math and science) that correspond to first-year college courses.
