The ACT is a widely used college entrance exam. It assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work.  The score range is 1-36.The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. An optional 5th test, Writing, measures skill in planning and writing a short essay. (It cannot be taken separately.) The Writing test may be required for admission, depending on the university. Therefore, we recommend that your student takes an ACT with the Writing section at least once. For more information visit actstudent.org.
