ACT Preparation
The ACT tests students on material associated with the standard high school curriculum. A standardized test that measures college readiness, the ACT is accepted by all US colleges and universities.
The ACT is 2 hours and 5 minutes and consists of three sections: English, Math, and Reading. Each section is scored from 1-36 and a student’s Composite score is the average of all three. The Science section is optional. If a student chooses to add the optional 40-minute Science section, they will receive a Science section and STEM (Science + Math Sections) score in addition to their Composite score. The test will be administered either on paper or digitally beginning on September 6th, 2025.
