American College Testing (ACT)

The ACT test assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. The Writing Test, which is optional, measures skill in planning and writing a short essay.

Please check the ACT website for the most up-to-date announcements and resources.

The ACT is administered in select DoDEA high schools. Students and their parents may self-register for their selected ACT exams.
