ACT
The ACT® test was developed by the American College Testing Program. The ACT exam has four sections: English, Mathematics, Reading and Science. The maximum score is a 36. The ACT test is used to screen college applicants. All students under 21 are required to have a National ACT score as part of the admission process. Some other reasons a student might need a National ACT are:
-
applying for scholarships
-
concurrent enrollment students
- health science majors
-
removing course deficiences
There are two types of ACT (National and Residual).
