There has been a significant increase in the number of study programs for students in the US. Most of these programs prepare students for college, but many are for middle school students hoping to get into elite schools as well. The way students study, their curriculum and the increasing emphasis on academics are the trends evident in the education system.
Many colleges say that admission tests like the SAT and ACT are not the best determiners for college admission as these tests are not good predictors of academics at the college level. So the deciding factors for these colleges are high school grade point averages. A new type of achievement test is what is needed to predict college grades, so students can remain focused on their high school curriculum instead of test preparation courses.
