ACT

The ACT is America's most widely accepted college entrance exam. It assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work.
  • The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science (optional for online testing).
  • The Writing Test, which is optional, measures skills in planning and writing a short essay.
The test costs $60.00 without writing and $85.00 with writing. There are fee waivers available for students who qualify for a free/reduced lunch.
 
 

How do students sign up to take the ACT?

Students must register in advance to take the ACT test. Create an account and register to take the ACT tests at this site: http://www.act.org/ 
When they register they will choose a test date and location. ACT offers six national test dates a year.
Our HS code is: 360220
 

11th Graders Only:  

All juniors will take the ACT in the winter/spring of their junior year.  This test is funded by the state of Ohio.  
 
Students will be registered for these tests by the Guidance Department and the test will be given during the school day.

How are the tests scored?

Scores range from 1 (low) to 36 (high) for each of the four tests and the Composite. The Composite score is the average of the four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.

We base ACT scores on the number of questions answered correctly. We do not deduct any points for wrong answers. Then we convert the raw scores to scale scores. Scale scores have the same meaning for all versions of the tests.

Three of the four tests also have subscores, which range from 1 (low) to 18 (high).

There is no direct, mathematical relationship between subscores and test score. Also, the test scores in English, mathematics, and reading do not represent the sum of the subscores in those areas.
