What is the ACT?

The ACT is a national college admissions examination that consists of subject area tests

 in: English, Math, Reading, & Science. The ACT Plus Writing includes the four subject area tests plus a

 30-minute Writing Test. ACT results are accepted by all 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S.

The ACT includes 215 multiple-choice questions and takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes

to complete, including a short break (or just over four hours if you are taking the ACT Plus Writing).

 Actual testing time is 2 hours and 55 minutes (plus 30 minutes if you are taking the ACT Plus Writing).

The ACT is administered on six test dates within the 50 United States and District of Columbia—

in September, October, December, February, April, and June.

The basic registration fee ($34 ACT; $49.50 ACT Plus Writing) includes score reports for up to four

 college choices, if you list valid codes when you register.

Why take the ACT?

There are at least four good reasons to take the ACT:

1. The ACT is universally accepted for college admission in the U.S. The ACT is accepted by all 4-year colleges and
 universities in the U.S., including the Ivy League schools.

2. The ACT multiple-choice tests are curriculum based. The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test. Instead, the questions on the
 ACT are directly related to what you have learned in your high school courses in English, mathematics, reading, and science.
Because the ACT tests are based on what is taught in the high school curriculum, students are generally more comfortable with the
ACT than they are with traditional aptitude tests or tests with narrower content.

3. The ACT is more than a test. In addition to the tests, the ACT also provides students with a unique Interest Inventory that provides
valuable information for career and educational planning and a Student Profile Section that provides a comprehensive profile of your
work in high school and your future plans.

4. The ACT is a good value. As a private, not-for-profit organization governed by educators, ACT is committed to providing services
at the lowest possible cost. Accordingly, the ACT provides a comprehensive package of educational assessment and career planning
services for college-bound students at a modest fee that is lower than the fee for the competing admissions test.

"The ACT has gained broader acceptance by colleges, and may allow students to do less testing overall.
Some selective colleges require both the SAT and SAT subject tests, but will take the ACT alone. The ACT
also gives students more flexibility to submit to colleges only the scores they wish them to see." (CNN.com)
