Two years after Educational Testing Services lost its contract to administer the SAT, ETS has acquired ACT from a private equity firm.
“Every student deserves a strong education, a fair shot at college, and a path to a good job,” Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS, said Tuesday in a news release announcing the acquisition of ACT, which administers a standardized college admissions test that rivals the SAT. “Together with ACT, we’re determined to serve students and parents along with educators and states by expanding access to education and job opportunities across America.”
