TOP FIVE REASONS
YOU SHOULD
CHOOSE THE
ACT TEST
SAVE $$$$ ON TUITION
Taking the ACT test can increase your chances of earning new
or better scholarships.

TAKE THE RIGHT CLASSES

Your ACT score can help you place out of remedial coursework
rather than sitting for additional placement tests on campus —
saving time and money!

PREPARE FOR ANY JOURNEY

The ACT is also a college and career planning tool! Your score
report includes a career-ready profile, a college/career planning
section, and in MyACT you can complete your interest inventory
and see how well your interests align with possible majors.

BE STEM READY
The ACT gives you the chance to stand out with a unique STEM
score — a measure of preparedness for courses in
2023/2024 THE ACT ® TEST GUIDE

STEM-related majors.

GET YOUR SUPERSCORE

Reflect your best efforts, not just your best test day: if you take
the ACT more than once, we’ll calculate your ACT Superscore
using your best subject score from each test attempt.
