Step 1: Visit the official website for students, ACT.org, to sign up for an account.Registering for the ACT requires the following five-step process. This is planned to begin late fall or early winter of 2020. In response to Coronavirus (COVID-19), the ACT will begin offering a new option for students to take the ACT online at home through remote proctoring. There may be several options in your city and/or state options are also available for students living in U.S. The test center locator on ACT.org allows you to search for available testing centers near your residence. The following table features key dates and deadlines for the 2020 calendar year. ACT testing dates always fall on Saturdays, although alternative dates are available for students with religious conflicts on that day of the week. The ACT is offered up to six times per year, although the number of annual tests will vary by testing location. The exam is designed to measure 'college readiness' in high school graduates by testing their reading comprehension, scientific reasoning skills and ability to form logical arguments. The optional writing section is graded separately, and scored using a different method (see below). Each required section of the test is scored out of a possible 36 points, and a test-taker's final score represents a 'composite score' of the four sections. It is comprised of four required sections - English, mathematics, reading and science - and one optional writing section. The ACT is offered six times per year in testing locations across the country. First offered in 1959, the ACT was originally created as an alternative to College Board's Scholastic Aptitude Test (now known as the SAT exam). The American College Testing (ACT) exam is a standardized test that college and university admissions officers use to measure the academic achievements of current applicants.

Since it is difficult to predict on which format a student will perform better, we recommend that each student takes one ACT and at least two SAT’s.We are also working to provide information and resources to students about the impact of coronavirus on college life. The formats of the two tests are slightly different and some students seem to do better on one then the other. Since colleges will accept the highest score from either test, it is in the student’s best interest to try both tests. We recommend that all students attempt both the ACT and the SAT. The reason for this is that with the scoring system of 1 – 36 and the fact that that wrong or deleted answers are not used negatively, the student’s score will not change much, if at all. Unlike the SAT, the company who developed the test, only recommends that a student take the test 1 time.
WHAT IS ON THE ACT TEST REGISTRATION
Seniors need to register early in September and October and Juniors need to register early in May to avoid late registration fees. We give the ACT at Troy High in October, December and June. The Chart at the bottom of the page compares the two tests for you. Your counselor has a Conversion Table that compares your ACT results to your SAT results. It may be on their web page or in the literature that they sent you in the mail. You should check with the colleges that you are interested in and ask which version they prefer. A student can take the ACT with the writing component or the ACT with no writing. The ACT is one of the two entrance tests that most colleges will use in the admissions process.
