42	* Indirect association: While the ACT Aspire Writing test does not directly measure the selected skill, development of and familiarity with it will contribute to development of skills that are directly measured by the Writing test.
43	† Standards requiring inferences about students' abilities to collaborate, speak and listen, extend and refine a practice over time, or execute their own research are not covered by the ACT summative assessments. Evidence to support such standards is best gathered directly from activities that are not currently practical in large-scale summative test administration conditions.
