The ACTs consist of four tests of general educational development and a special Student Profile
section. The four sections are: English, Reading, Math and Science Reasoning. The academic
tests cover the subjects of English usage, mathematics, social studies and natural sciences. The
profile section collects information about the students’ aspirations, background, non-classroom
achievements and immediate plans for the future. The ACT takes about 3 ½ hours to complete,
and the highest score on this test is 36. Many institutions accept the ACT as readily as the SAT I.
essay preparation service (EssayPrep) is available through the College Board website to give
students an opportunity to practice writing an essay and obtain feedback on their essay before
taking the test.
