The ACT is a national college admission examination that consists of subject area tests in: English, Mathematics, Reading and Science.

The ACT Plus Writing includes these four subject area tests plus a 30-minute Writing Test.
ACT test results are accepted by U.S. colleges and universities as widely as the SAT.

Most schools accept the ACT with Writing in place of SAT Subject tests.

The ACT includes 215 multiple-choice questions and takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete with breaks (or just over four hours if you are taking the Writing Test). Actual testing time is 2 hours and 55 minutes (plus 30 minutes if you are taking the Writing Test).

The ACT is administered on six national test dates—in September, October, December, February, April, and June.

The basic registration fee includes score reports for up to four college choices for which a valid code is listed at time of registration.
