The ACT is a college entrance exam still used by many colleges and universities to determine admissions decisions. There are some colleges that don't require scores—schools that are test-optional or even completely test-blind. Test-optional policies became much more popular because of the Covid pandemic. Most schools became test optional only temporarily, but some have decided to make it a permanent change.

The purpose of the ACT test is to measure a high school student's readiness for college. Students are tested on the following areas: English, Reading, Math, Science, and Writing. The question remains: why should you take the ACT? A strong score can boost your chances of getting into the college of your choice. Also, the college or university you choose to go to may still require test scores. If you are searching for a scholarship or financial aid, test scores are often part of the requirements.

Should you take the ACT or the SAT? The state pays for the ACT in your junior year, and you can take it again to improve your scores. Check out the following websites to help you decide which is best for you!
