Registration open for upcoming ACT Test

IOWA CITY, Iowa: The next ACT achievement test will be administered on April 4. Students who wish to take the college admission and placement exam must register by Feb. 27. The late registration deadline is March 13 with an extra fee. Students may register online at www.actstudent.org, or pick up registration forms from high school counseling offices.

Students may select to send their test scores for free to as many as four colleges or universities during the registration process. Test results may also be sent after the test at additional cost.

The cost is $31 for the traditional ACT test and $46 for the ACT Plus Writing. Students should determine whether colleges and universities they are considering require the optional writing score. A list of schools that require the writing test can be found at www.actstudent.org/writing. ACT scores are accepted by all four-year colleges and universities across the United States.

The ACT, a curriculum-based achievement exam, consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science, and takes about three hours. The ACT Plus Writing requires an additional 30 minutes to complete. The ACT Web site, www.actstudent.org, has helpful information and provides free sample tests and inexpensive test prep materials.
