The ACT is one of two tests that fulfill the admissions criteria for many US universities. The ACT is 4 hours in length and is administered 6 times per year in Canada in September, October, December, February, April and June.  Additionally, it is offered in July in the United States. Students must sign up directly with ACT.org for the test.  The test is administered at a number of designated test centers in the Greater Vancouver Area which offer computer-based testing.  In the US, the test is administered on paper. It is best for students to sign up two months or more in advance as the test centers may get booked quickly. You may request to have your official ACT scores sent directly to your universities by the ACT organization.

The ACT Exam is a content-based multiple choice exam that has four sections: English, Reading (four passages, one each of prose fiction, social science, humanities, and natural science), Math (includes some trigonometry), and Science reasoning. The 25-minute essay section is optional.  There is no penalty for guessing on the ACT. The test is scored out of 36 points.

To help students conquer every type of question on the four components of the exam, which include Math, English, Science and the Essay section, students must familiarize themselves with the content and work on test-taking strategies, mastering tactics to optimize their score and complete the test in a timely manner.

We consult with our students on when to begin ACT Prep, when and how to register for the test, as well as on the timing of tests so that students can optimize results. For those of our students who are undecided about whether to take the SAT or the ACT exam, we offer a diagnostic to determine which test they are best suited for.
