When do I need to start preparing for the test? Our advice is to begin preparing at least four months before the first time you wish to take the exam. Students usually start preparing approximately a year and a half before they finish high school so as to be able to take the test at least 2 or 3 times.
How many times can I take the test? As the SAT, you may take the ACT examination as many times as you wish. However, students are advised to take the exam no more than three times.
What is the ACT point scale? The ACT is marked out of 36. Each of the four sections has a different scale. The English is out of 75, the Mathematics is out of 60 and the Reading and Science are out of 40 each. The scores of each section are then converted into a number out of 36.
How long is the ACT exam? The actual exam takes three hours and thirty five minutes if you include the writing and two hours and fifty five minutes for those not taking the writing part. However, students will usually be dismissed after five hours, including the breaks.
Is the essay mandatory? No. The writing part is optional, but you will often find that many Universities in the US do require that you take it.
How much does it cost to register for the ACT? The ACT without the writing costs 39.5 US dollars and with the writing component costs 59.5 US dollars. For international students outside the US and Canada, there is an additional cost of 40 US dollars.
