WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ACT

Why take the ACT?

The ACT is accepted by all four-year colleges and universities in the US.

The ACT is based on the things you learn in high school.

What you need to know before you register:

Choosing Your Test Option:

The ACT (no writing), is made up four multiple-choice tests in English, mathematics, reading and science.

The ACT plus writing, includes the four multiple-choice tests plus a 30-minutes Writing Test. Check www.actstudent.org for a searchable list of colleges that have told us about their policies-whether they require, recommend, or do not need the results from the ACT Writing Test.

You cannot expect to receive your scores from one test date in time to register for the next one.
