American College Testing

The American College Testing (ACT) is a standardized exam used by colleges and universities in the United States to assess a student's readiness for higher education. It measures skills in areas like English, math, reading, and science reasoning. The ACT provides a score that helps institutions evaluate applicants’ academic abilities and preparedness. Many students take the test during high school, typically in their junior or senior year, to strengthen their college applications. The ACT also offers an optional writing section. It’s one of the primary tools used for college admissions decisions alongside GPA and extracurricular achievements.
