ACT-AMERICAN COLLEGE TEST

The ACT is required at most 4-year institutions in the state of Utah. The test covers the areas of english, reading, mathematics and science reasoning.

Juniors are encouraged to take the ACT sometime in April or June in order to see what the test is like, determine if their test site was comfortable, to use the results for further preparation and to make sure they get a feel for the timing of the test.

Seniors are strongly encouraged to take the ACT sometime in September, October, or December of their senior year so they can receive results in time for college admissions and various academic scholarships. One of the measurements used for college admittance is known as the Academic Index Score. It is used throughout the state to determine admissions eligibility and as a factor for academic scholarship qualification.
