The standardized ACT is now offering three new options for students designed to provide more choices and faster results. The
idea is that the new options improve students' test-taking experience and increase chances for college admissions. You can find
more information on their website: http://leadershipblog. act. org/2019/10/act-test-to-provide-new -options. html
In a 350 word essay, discuss whether you think that a bias does exist in standardized testing. Do you believe that the new
options being offered by ACT will affect the rate of being evaluated fairly? Explain your answers.
