| Abstract | This high rate of test-day absenteeism is concerning. The ACT test is an important step in the college-going process, with over 1,500 colleges across the US either requiring, recommending, or considering test scores as a criterion for admission decisions. Fee waivers are intended to remove the financial burden of taking the test, thus potentially expanding eligible students' access to a greater number of colleges across the US. If these students fail to sit for a test date, it is important to examine whether they still had access to one or more ACT testing opportunities. This is the third brief in a research series on the ACT® fee waiver program. It examines the prior and subsequent testing behavior of students who did not test on their originally scheduled test date. The established time frame for observing this other testing behavior comprises a three-year period that includes the test year in which the students were absent on their originally scheduled test date, the test year before that event, and the test year after that event. [For the second brief in this series, "Test-Day Absenteeism Among Students Who Registered for the ACT with a Fee Waiver. ACT Research & Policy. Issue Brief," see ED613539.] (ERIC). |
