19、off. On summer nights, when its light until after, the fireflies arrive, the air is heavy and moist. The daughters unroll their windows and stick the whole of their heads out into the slate blue sky, feeling full force the sweaty, honey suckle air. In the cold mall, their rubber soles squeak on shin

34、as if they had just run a marathon, and all the happy talks ended. With the three hours and 45 minutes stretching to five hours with breaks and instructions, it got worse.

35、 with the wrong scores.

36、mous and less feared rival based in Iowa City, Iowa. The shorter test is now becoming a welcome alternative for many high schoolers who no longer see a need to endure the usual SAT trauma. “I think the ACT is a true player in the college-admissions game these days,“ says Robyn Lady, until recently a
37、 college counselor at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. Although most Jefferson students still take the SAT, the number of ACTs there has tripled in the last two years. Its a shift that, if it continues, could change the balance of entrance test power, since the Fairfax County

Studen
39、ts usually do equally well on each. The SATs new 25 minute essay is required, while the ACTs essay is optional. The SAT is three hours and 45 minutes long. The comparable ACT is three hours and 25 minutes. The SAT has three sections: critical reading, math and writing. The ACT has math, science, rea
40、ding and English sections, plus optional writing. The ACT with the writing test costs $ 43, more than the SATs $ 41.50, but the ACT is only $ 29 without the writing section.Several high school guidance counselors say they assume the ACT, with 1.2 million test takers in the class of 2005 compared wit
41、h 1.5 million for the SAT, will eventually catch up, in part because so many educators are advising their students to try both.

College Board president Caston Caperton apologized, saying the mishap “brings humility, and humility makes us more aware, empathetic and respectful of others.“But many counse
45、lors, who often complain about the New York City-based nonprofits influence over their students futures, say they have their doubts. “I think the College Board sees this as a purely technical problem that they call solve through purely technical means,“ says Scott White, a counselor at Montclair (N.
