ACT Aspire Constructed Responses
ACT Aspire Constructed Responses
Examples of constructed-response items in the reading test include the following:
Making claims about a passage and providing support using specific details from the text
Identifying similarities and differences between the key ideas of paired passages and providing support using specific details from both texts
Constructed-response items are scored according to rubrics that give students varying amounts of credit for responses that are correct or partially correct, enabling differentiation between multiple skill levels.
Student responses to a constructed-response task are read and scored by trained raters.
