ACT
American College Testing
The ACT exam, administered by ACT Inc., is a standardized test required for undergraduate admissions primarily in the US, Canada, and Singapore. It is an online multiple-choice exam designed to assess candidates’ skills in writing, mathematics, verbal reasoning, and science. The syllabus aligns closely with high school curriculum, testing an applicant’s comprehension, analysis, and analytical skills.
There is an optional writing section available during ACT registration, which students can choose for an additional fee. International students seeking undergraduate admissions abroad often take the ACT exam to demonstrate their academic abilities.
ACT scores range from 1 to 36, calculated based on performance in each section and then aggregated to provide an overall score in the range of 1 to 36. The scores are valid for 5 years.
