A Message to Students
The best indication of how well you will do in college is a measure of how well you can perform the skills necessary for college course work. The ACT measures these skills in English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning. These areas are tested because they include the major areas of instruction in most high school and college programs.
