Sister Edith is a member of the faculty at Marian, serving in the English ^uid Guidance departments. Sister Edith began her talk with an explanation of the basic purpose of testing and its effect on the future of each student at Marian. She stated that the values derived from scholastic aptitude tests were three-fold. For the student, test results answered the questions, "How am I doing?" "or "Am I doing any better?" Frart the answers - to £hese questions, the student receives a new self understanding which benefits him through the entire educational development of his life in addition to helping him to find a vocational direction suited to his capabilities. For the parents, the results of the tests provide a means of evaluating the limitations and capabilities of their child and answers the questions of whether or not a remedial program or an enrichment program is indicated, what specific program should be followed and what area of academic or vocational studies would be of greatest value to the child's future success. The faculty also finds the tests of great importance to the evaluation of their teaching methods. The individual teacher is able to see how his teaching affects his students and how they compare on a national level. The test held for freshman and sophomore students is the National Education Development test. It is given for the early recognition of academic strengths and weaknesses. The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude test is for juniors. It involves a general series of verbal and math tests, similar to the College Board test. The purpose of this exam is not only for the practice the student gets and knowledge gained but it is taken as well for some scholarships; ? The juniors were administered this test on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Marian Central will serve as a test center for the American College test (A.C.T.) on Oct. 21, Dec. 9, Feb. 17 and May 11; Approximately 1,300 colleges, mainly in the midwest and the southwest, require this test of its applicarits. A.C.T. is open to juniors and seniors. The College Entrance Examination Scholastic Aptitude test (S.A.T.) will be given only on Nov. 4 at Marian Central to juniors and seniors. S.A.T. is taken for special scholarships and is either required or recommended by some colleges. The S.A.T. achievement test will also be given on Nov. 4. Both tests are advisable for early admissions to college. In the spring of the year Marian will administer the National Merit test. It is taken by juniors only. Two of Marian's seniors placed in the semifinals and eight more received commendations. All of these students will have a definite advantage for college scholarships and early acceptance. Sister Edith stated that the specific purposes of all the tests in relation to the individual student are: 1. Prediction of intellectual ability; 2. Ability grouping in academic and technical subjects; 3. Effective personal, vocational, and academic counseling; 4. Classification for colleges and vocational schools; 5. Evaluation of progress. In conclusion, Sister Edith reminded the parents that the S.A.T. and the A.C.T. are purely voluntary and the responsibility of registering for these 11 test § lay with the students and their parents. She stressedthat colleges, vocational schools and the armed forces were interested in the range, not the exact score, and also in the complete profile of the student. Thomas Bolger, president of the NCPA, thanked Sister Edith for her presentation and announced that the next educational meeting of the association would be held in January. Safetv of?'
