Like the SAT, the ACT is a college-entrance-type exam. All 4-year colleges and Universities accept the results of the ACT for a student applying for admission.

The ACT tests 4 subjects; English, Reading, Math and Science Reasoning (there is a separate Writing Test that is optional, though students should probably take it). ACT scores range from 1 to 36 on both subscores and composite (average) score. See www.collegedata.com for average SAT and ACT scores for admitted students to your desired college or university.
