The ACT Exam is used by many colleges in the college admissions process. Colleges will accept either the SAT or the ACT, leaving the selection up to the student. Below is information specific to the ACT Exam.
- The ACT is a four-hour exam designed to measure critical reading, mathematical, science and social studies reasoning abilities.
- The Writing sub-test is optional, but we strongly recommend that our students take this optional portion.
- As is the case with the SAT, students’ scores usually improve with repeated testing and we recommend that our juniors test two or three times; the test is offered multiple times through the school year.
- Depending on the test date, the ACT may administered at Wilson High School or at another local school.
- Students must register at www.actstudent.org. During the registration process you will be able to select a test date and view the available testing locations.
- Scores are made available to students approximately four weeks after the exam.
