  2. ACT at a Glance • Like the SAT, the ACT is a nationally administered, standardized paper-and-pencil test that helps colleges evaluate candidates. Colleges now accept your ACT or SAT scores interchangeable. This means that you have the opportunity to decide on which test you'll perform better. Generally, you'll take the ACT for the first time in the spring of your junior year.

  3. Anatomy of the ACT • The ACT lasts 2 hours and 55 minutes (excluding the optional Writing Test) or 3 hours and 25 minutes with the Writing Test. The order of test sections and the total number of questions covered in each test section never changes:

  10. General Information • Basic registration fee is $31 (which includes sending your scores up to 4 colleges). • Registration including the writing section is $46. • The ACT is universally accepted for college admission.

  11. General Information • The ACT is curriculum-based. The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test. Instead, the questions on the ACT are directly related to what students have learned in high school courses in English, mathematics, and science. • Because the ACT tests are based on what is taught in the high school curriculum, students are generally more comfortable with the ACT than they are with traditional aptitude tests or tests with narrower content.

  12. General Information • Students may take the ACT as often as they wish but only once per national test date. Many students take the test twice, once as a junior and again as a senior. • ACT research shows that of the students who took the ACT more than once: • 55% increased their composite score on the retest • 22% had no change in their composite score on the retest • 23% decreased their composite score on the retest
