American College Testing

The American College Testing (ACT) is a standardized exam used for college admissions in the United States to assess high school students’ readiness for higher education. It evaluates skills in four core areas—English, Math, Reading, and Science—with an optional Writing (essay) section. Each section is scored from 1 to 36, and the composite score is the average of the four main sections. The ACT helps colleges compare applicants, influences admission decisions, and can affect scholarship opportunities.
