The ACT is American's most widely accepted college entrance exam. It assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work.
 

Thereare at least four good reasons to take the ACT:

  • The ACT tests are universally accepted for college admission.
  • The ACT multiple-choice tests are curriculum based.
  • The ACT is more than a test.
  • The ACT is a good value.
On the test, you will have 2 hours and 55 minutes to complete a variety of multiple choice questions divided into four sections – one for each tested subject area. The English, reading, and science sections each include several reading passages with anywhere from 5 to 15 questions perpassage. The math section includes 60 questions – each with 5 possible answer choices.
 
The ACT (American College Testing Assessment) is one of the two major standardized college entrance tests taken in the today, (the SAT I is the other).


The ACT is an all-multiple-choice test given five times a year. Standardized tests like ACT are designed to allow college admissions officers to judge all students by a common measuring stick. In addition, Admissions officers use these scores as a way to predict academic performance in the first year of college.

The ACT Assessment, tests knowledge in four subject areas: English, Reading, Math, and Science Reasoning.Unlike the SAT, the ACT is not an aptitude test. The questions on the ACT are related directly to the material students have learned in high school.
 
The ACT includes 215 multiple-choice questions. It lasts three and a half hours (including breaks-actual testing time is two hours and 55 minutes. ACT-takers actually receive 12 separate scoresonthe ACT: 1 composite, 4 subject scores, and 7 sub scores. However the composite – or scaled – score is the most important. It ranges from1-36. Nearly half of all test takers fall in the 17-23 range. On the ACT, unlike with the SAT, there is no penalty for guessing. So ACT takers should fill in an answer for every question, even if they have no idea of what the correct answer is.
