ACT, SAT add new test, raise their fees

Wayne State is noted in a sidebar item as one of Michigan's universities that does not recommend the optional ACT writing test for admissions consideration. Wayne State is joined by 10 of the state's colleges and universities not requiring or recommending the ACT Test. ACT spokesman Ken Gullette cautions students not to take the writing test if it's not necessary and says that concerns that some colleges may change their minds and require it in a year are unfounded. "I doubt seriously any college will pull the rug out from under a student. Any school that isn't requiring it now isn't likely to require it within the next two year," Gullette says.
