Although the ACT is taken more frequently in the Midwestern and Rocky Mountain states, the test is accepted by all U.S. colleges and universities. Approximately 1.5 million students take the ACT each year.Â
The ACT consists of four individual multiple-choice tests:
English - 45 minutes, 75 questions
Mathematics - 60 minutes, 60 questions
Reading - 35 minutes, 40 questions
Science - 35 minutes, 40 questions
The ACT Plus Writing also features an optional 40-minute Writing Test.
