What is the ACT?
• You'll have the opportunity to retest if you feel your scores
don't accurately reflect your abilities in the areas tested.
• You'll have your test scores and other information in time to
help you plan your senior year. (For example, you may
decide to take an additional class in an area in which your
test score was low.)
• Colleges will know of your interests and have your scores
in time to contact you during the summer before your
senior year, when many of them are sending information
about admissions, course placement, scholarships, and
special programs to prospective students.
