ACT
The ACT® college readiness assessment is a curriculum- and standards-based educational and career planning tool that assesses students’ academic readiness for college. It is the capstone of the College and Career Readiness System, using the same score scale as ACT Explore and ACT Plan, making it an effective tool to monitor academic progress and growth.
The ACT (No Writing) consists of four multiple-choice sections: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The ACT Plus Writing includes the four multiple-choice sections and a Writing Test.
