American College Testing (ACT) Assessment Program
The ACT Assessment is designed to assess high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. More than 1.2 million high school graduates took the ACT in 2006.
The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas:
- English (75 questions - 45 minutes allotted)
- Mathematics (60 questions - 60 minutes allotted)
- Reading (40 questions - 35 minutes allotted)
- Science (40 questions - 35 minutes allotted)
The Writing Test, which is optional, measures skill in planning and writing a short essay. The Writing Test adds 30 minutes to the total testing time.
