​

The ACT is a globally recognized college admissions assessment used to test students in Math, Reading, Science and English skills with an optional Writing portion.  College-bound students should ALWAYS opt to take the writing portion as college admissions require it. The ACT is offered 6 times per year.  

 

The ACT has no penalty for guessing.  As such, students should pay attention to the timing on each section and randomly fill in answers as time runs out as opposed to leaving any questions unanswered.

 

All 11th and 12th grade students who are on free or reduced-price lunch are entitled to 2 free ACT tests.  These students should come see me for the test fee waivers.

 

I recommend students send their scores to up to 4 universities they plan to attend each time they register for a test.  Not every school will superscore the ACT, meaning that schools will ONLY evaluate students based on their HIGHEST score in each section, taken across all tests the student took, but they WILL ALWAYS evaluate based on the student's highest ACT composite score. If they send scores upon test registration, the scores will be sent to up to 4 schools free of charge.  If students wait to send scores, they will be charged $12 per test per school, not to mention they might miss college application deadlines if they don't send the scores in a timely manner. FSU and USF superscore the ACT. The other state schools will evaluate based on highest composite score.
