Sure, sure, everybody's heard of the SAT, but what about the other big test for the college bound-- the ACT? It's very different. Do you know how?
For one thing, it's got four sections: math, science reasoning, English grammar and reading comprehension. It's designed to predict how you'll do on those subjects in college.
To help you ace the exam, we caught up with Melissa Kelly, About's Guide to Secondary School Educators who writes her site's ACT advice page. She dished. We quiz. You ready? You may begin!
More than 1.5 million students now take the test and many are finding that they are not prepared academically.
The ACT was founded in 1959 as a competitor to College Board's SAT test. Now that the ACT is gaining in popularity, use this online guide by College Crunch to improve your scores.
