This chapter will introduce you to the essentials of the ACT and all of its separate parts. Part 1 Introduction to the ACT Assessment Taking the ACT Assessment or SAT exam as a part of the college admissions process is a rite of passage for millions of teenagers across the country and in many parts of the world. It is probably not something you look forward to but it cannot and should not be avoided for long. Why the ACT Why Me Because of the simple fact that high school standards and quality vary widely colleges look to standardized tests to level the playing field for all students. Unlike the SAT the aim of the ACT is to test what you have learned in high school. It is not an aptitude test as the SAT claims to be nor is it an intelligence test. So if you have taken challenging courses in high school you have already set the foundation to do well on the ACT. Your score on the ACT is used in conjunction with other factors including grades application essays and extracurricular activities to help colleges decide on whom to admit. Different schools give different weight to the importance of ACT scores but a high score can only help you get into the college of your choice.
