ACT (American College Testing)

The ACT (American College Testing) is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It assesses students' knowledge and skills in four main areas: English, math, reading, and science, along with an optional writing section. The ACT helps colleges evaluate applicants' readiness for college-level work. It is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors and is one of the two primary college entrance exams, alongside the SAT. Scores from the ACT can influence college admissions decisions and scholarship opportunities.
