About the Real ACT Exam

The ACT is a standardized college admissions test that measures achievement in four academic areas: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. It is accepted by all US colleges and universities as an alternative to the SAT. The ACT is scored on a 1-36 composite scale, which is the average of your four section scores. A strong ACT score can be the difference between admission and rejection at competitive schools.
