What distinguishes the Reasoning Exam from the ACT?
This is a very difficult question to answer. Historic data series suggest a strong association between high REASONING EXAM or ACT scores and success in post-secondary studies. Both exams have the same purpose – to project the ability of individual high school students to succeed in college. However, the methods employed by the respective exam authors differ considerably. From their own literature, the REASONING EXAM describes itself as a reasoning exam across two skill areas – Math and Verbal; the ACT measures academic achievement across four skill areas – English, mathematics, reading and science.
