This year’s high school graduates were less likely to demonstrate college readiness on the ACT admission test than those who took the exam the year before, according to results made public Wednesday. ACT officials attributed the falling achievement levels to a rise in the number of students tested. Nearly 2.1 million graduating seniors took the ACT, the nation’s most widely used admission test, an all-time high. They amounted to about 64 percent of the class of 2016. An estimated 59 percent took the test in the previous class.
