Achievement, as measured by ACT, Inc., was the area of my dissertation research from 2006-2011. This is a testing company with a 60-year old history of success. However, they did sit at the table with PARCC during much of the assessment planning, a contract we now know went to ETS and Pearson. ACT backed away from the PARCC table in 2012 citing worries that some may consider their presence at the table a conflict of interests. Every thinking person knew that ACT would be "a Plan B." Although this article clearly shows their less than transparent approach to marketing, the are no longer under the Common Core testing table but have come up to join PARCC and SBAC at the what seems to be becoming a testing buffet.
