National ACT
The National ACT is a standardized exam used primarily for college admissions in the United States. It assesses a student’s skills in English, math, reading, and science reasoning, providing colleges with a snapshot of academic readiness. Developed by the ACT organization, it is scored on a scale of 1 to 36. Many students take the test during high school students' junior or senior years to strengthen their college applications. Preparing for the ACT involves practicing core skills and managing test-taking strategies, as the results can influence college acceptance and scholarship opportunities.
