ACT

What is the ACT

The ACT contains four multiple-choice tests—English, mathematics, reading, and science—and an optional writing test.

Test scores reflect what students have learned throughout high school and provide colleges and universities with excellent information for recruiting, advising, placement, and retention.

The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test. Questions are directly related to what students have learned in high school courses.
