Tests - ACT

The ACT: The ACT test assesses the student's skills in English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning. There is also an optional Writing exam for students applying to colleges and universities that want to see a Writing score.

In Brussels, the ACT is offered five times a year in 2009-2010 at the International School of Brussels on October 24, December 12, February 6, April 10, and June 12.

In Luxembourg, the ACT is offered twice a year at the International School of Luxembourg in 2009-2010 in December and February.

All students testing internationally must go to www.actstudent.org, where they create their free student Web account and then follow the simple instructions to select a test date and test center and then register online. A credit card is needed to finalize their registration. Students then print their admission ticket, which they will take with them to the test center.

ACT composite scores range from 1-36. Since the ACT is curriculum-based, some US colleges and universities that normally require SAT II tests (see Section C, below, for information on SAT II) will exempt ACT examinees from taking them.
