Market / Audience The ACT is required or preferred by more colleges and universities than any other college entrance exam. It is a curriculum-based achievement test made up of four separate exams in English, reading, mathematics, and science. The ACT is the only national college entrance exam that includes a science test. An optional writing test was added in 2004-2005.

The exam is administered in all 50 states and is the predominant college entrance exam in 25 states, mainly in the Midwest and Mountain regions. It is also given in all Canadian provinces and in 92 other countries. ACT scores are accepted at virtually all colleges and universities in the nation. The test is given six times each year, in September, October, December, February, April, and June.

The ACT was taken by nearly 1.6 million students in the high school graduating class of 2010—47% of all US high school graduates. Growth in the number of test-takers has been particularly strong in East Coast states, especially in New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Vermont, Florida, and New Hampshire. In Illinois and Colorado, all public school seniors are required to take the ACT. Michigan and Kentucky require all 11th graders in public schools to take the ACT, and Ohio is considering doing likewise.
