What is ACT?

A College Admission Test for Global Undergraduate Applicants.

The ACT (American College Testing) is a standardized exam used for undergraduate admissions, primarily in the United States, and recognized by more than 1,500 institutions globally. The test is designed to evaluate a student’s academic readiness for college, covering core high school subjects while also testing reasoning and analytical skills.

Accepted by all U.S. colleges and increasingly by universities in Canada, Europe, and Asia, the ACT offers students an alternative to the SAT—often preferred for its faster pace and science reasoning section.
