What is the ACT?

The ACT or American College Testing Assessment Test is a college admissions exam given six times a year. There are four sections: english, math, reading and science, and an optional essay. The ACT takes two hours and 55 minutes, plus the optional 30 minute essay section.

Most students take the ACT during the winter/spring of their junior year, saving the fall of their senior year for retesting, if necessary. You will receive four scores on the ACT, one for each section.  Each section is scored on a scale of 1-36 points.  You will also receive a composite score which is the average of the four scores.  The national average is about 21. The essay will be scored separately.
