How to Register/REregister for the ACT . . . . . back cover  \nA Message to Students  \nThe best indication of how well you will do in college is a measure of how well you can perform the skills necessary for college coursework. The ACT Assessment measures these skills in English, mathematics, reading, and science. These areas are tested because they include the major areas of instruction in most high school and college programs.  \nACT is committed to representing the diversity of our society in all its aspects, including race, ethnicity, and gender. Thus, test passages and questions used in the ACT Assessment are deliberately chosen to reflect the range of cultures in our population.  \nWe also are committed to ensuring that test questions are fair—that they do not disadvantage any particular group of examinees. Extensive reviews of the fairness of test materials are rigorously conducted by both ACT staff and external consultants. We also employ statistical procedures to help ensure that our test materials do not unfairly affect the performance of any group.  \nHow to Use This Free Booklet  \nThis booklet, which is provided free of charge, is intended to help you do your best on the ACT. It summarizes general test-taking strategies, describes the content of each of the tests, provides specific tips for each, and lets you know what you can expect on the test day. Included in this booklet are a complete practice test—“retired”ACT Assessment questions that were administered to students on a national test date—and a sample answer document and scoring instructions.  \nRead this booklet carefully and take the practice test well before the test day so you will be familiar with the ACT, what it measures, and the strategies you can use to do your best on it.  \nAdditional ACT Preparation Materials  \n• Check out the sample questions and explanations of correct answers on the ACT website ([www.act.org](www.act.org)).  \n• ACTive Prep® : The Official Electronic Guide to the ACT Assessment is an interactive, multimedia CD-ROM set that includes real ACT tests with answer explanations to help you prepare for the ACT Assessment. The program can also help you develop a personalized study plan based on your individual needs. ACTive Prep is the only test preparation software developed by ACT.  \nOrder ACTive Prep through the ACT website at [www.act.org/activeprep](www.act.org/activeprep) or use the order form on page 63, which also shows system requirements. (Note: If you already have a copy of ACTive Prep, you may not want to order it again.)  \n• Two different retired sample test booklets are available (see page 63) .  \n• Check your local library or bookstore for the official guide to the ACT Assessment, Getting Into the ACT, published by Harcourt Brace. This book is the only commercial book that includes actual retired ACT tests.  \n1 General Preparation for the ACT  \nChoosing a Test Date  \nBefore you choose a test date, consider the application deadlines of the colleges and scholarship agencies that are of interest to you. It will take four to seven weeks after a test date for ACT to mail your score report to you and to your college or agency ","cbCaicBQXVaCdaST","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicBQXVaCdaST","pdf",3696801,64,"English","# Contents\n## General Preparation for the ACT\n## Use of Calculators on the ACT Assessment Mathematics Test\n## Strategies for Taking the ACT Tests\n## What to Expect on the Test Day\n## Taking the Practice Test\n## Scoring Your Practice Test\n## Answer Document\n## Order Form for Additional ACT Preparation Materials\n## How to Register/REregister for the ACT","[{\"question\":\"What does the ACT Assessment measure across its four tests?\",\"answer\":\"The ACT Assessment measures skills in English, mathematics, reading, and science.
