Review by Anomie

[edit]

Here are a few comments to get you started:

  • Most sections could use expansion; compare to similar sections in SAT. Look for secondary sources discussing various aspects of the test.
  • If there are official composite statistics, those should generally be used instead of the 2006 statistics.
  • The text gets squished between the two images in Use. I would move the graph down to Score percentiles, along with the second paragraph of the section.
  • In the Format summary chart, the information in the Content column could better be described in the prose.
  • Inline links should be turned into <ref> tags, and should be after punctuation ("foo.[1]" rather than "foo[1]."). Also, you should either use the citation templates or format the references in similar style.
  • Swap the order of Taking the tests and Score Percentiles, to put Score Percentiles next to Score comparison with SAT.
  • I might rename Taking the tests to something like "Test availability".
  • A Criticism section could be interesting, if you can find good sources.

Hope this helps! Anomie 20:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have incorporated some of you edits. what do you mean on your second point.Zginder 12:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If ACT or some reliable source publishes statistics that average over the past few years, those might be more helpful than 2006 statistics. If not, the 2006 statistics are fine. Anomie 12:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
