The ACT is appealing Michigan’s decision to switch its eleventh grade standardized test to the SAT.
The Michigan Public Radio Network’s Jake Neher has more.
The ACT claims the state’s bidding process unfairly favored the SAT. For example, it said ACT lost points because it offered a writing portion.
Caleb Buhs is with the state budget office. He says officials made an extra effort to make sure the bidding process was fair.
“This was a little bit unique because we knew of the magnitude of this, what it means to students throughout the state and educators as well,” he says.
Buhs says a group of officials not involved in the initial bidding process will review ACT’s complaint.
