The ACT® (American College Testing) exam is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It is administered by ACT, Inc. and is designed to assess high school students' academic readiness for college. The ACT consists of four sections:

English: 75 questions in 45 minutes, testing grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. This measures your ability to make decisions to revise and edit short texts and essays in different genres.
Math: 60 questions in 60 minutes covering algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. This measures mathematical skills you have typically acquired in courses up to the beginning of grade 12.
Reading: 40 questions in 35 minutes, focusing on reading comprehension and analysis. This measures your ability to read closely, reason logically about texts using evidence, and integrate information from multiple resources.
Science: 40 questions in 35 minutes, assessing interpretation, analysis, and problem-solving in natural sciences. This measures the interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills required in biology, chemistry, Earth/space sciences, and physics.

There is also an optional Writing section with 1 essay prompt in 40 minutes, measuring writing skills taught in high school English classes and in entry-level college composition courses.

Scores range from 1 to 36 for each section, with a composite score calculated as the average of the four sections. The Writing section is scored separately. U.S. colleges and universities widely accept ACT® scores as part of their admissions process, and a strong performance can enhance a student's application. The scores are valid for five years, after which a retest might be necessary if required by the institution.

Unlike the SAT, which was initially designed to measure aptitude and reasoning skills, the ACT was created to assess students' knowledge of subjects taught in high school and their ability to complete college-level work. This focus on curriculum-based testing reflects the ACT's origin as an exam that aims to evaluate what students have learned in their high school courses.
