ACT (American College Test)

The ACT (American College Test) is a standardized assessment used for college admissions in the United States. It evaluates high school students' skills in four subject areas: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science, with an optional Writing section. The test aims to measure students' readiness for college-level work and is typically taken during the junior or senior year of high school. Scores range from 1 to 36, and colleges often use them, along with high school GPA and other factors, to make admissions decisions. The ACT helps universities gauge a student's potential for academic success.
