| What is the ACT*? |
|
The ACT* or American College Testing Assessment Test is a college admissions exam given five times a year. There are four sections: English, math, reading and science. The ACT* takes two hours and 55 minutes. There is also an optional writing test which takes an additional 30 minutes. |

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 writing test scores 0-12 points. | |||||||||||||||
