| About the ACT |
Along with the SAT, the ACT is also one of America's most widely accepted college entrance exams. The ACT test assesses a student's educational development throughout high school in the four areas of english, mathematics, reading and science. The ACT test scores in these areas assess how students are able to apply the general abilities learned in high school to college-level work. A higher ACT score gives you the opportunity to get into the school you want!

| How the Composite ACT score is calculated |
- # of correct answers are counted (no deduction for incorrect answers) = raw score
- raw score is converted to scale scores
- each test score range from 1(low) to 36(high) ->
- COMPOSITE score is the average of the four tests
- subscores range from 1(low) to 18(high) - there is no direct relationship between your subscores and your test scores
