ACT testing deferred statewide due to bargain in testing process

The ACT state and region tests planned for October 2 have been put off because of a security break.

A representative for the ACT says the October second test was Tennessee's statewide senior retest date. That test will now occur on October 16.

The deferment is a result of what's depicted as a "bargain" in the testing procedure.

A representative revealed to News 2, "A bargain in the testing procedure is an occasion that could affect the decency of the exam. ACT has made this move to guarantee reasonable testing for all understudies and to secure the trustworthiness of the test scores. The episode is still under scrutiny, and ACT can't remark on what particularly happened right now."

All of Tennessee and numerous locale the nation over are affected by this trade off.

Dr. Mike Looney, Superintendent of Williamson County Schools, tweeted "TNDOE to reschedule the October 2 ACT after an out of state security rupture is accounted for. This is uplifting news for you understudies. You will have somewhat more time to prep. We should get ready!!!!!"

The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System posted on Facebook, "The American College Test (ACT) educated the Tennessee Department of Education yesterday that there was a security rupture in another state, and they are dropping the Oct. 2 test, which was one of the retake open doors for CMCSS secondary school seniors."
