The ACT test is required by most universities when applying for admission, and also is a factor for many scholarships. Some universities, especially competitive ones on the east coast, prefer or even require the SAT test instead of the ACT test, so you should check with the universities you are interested in.
Taking the ACT is not a graduation requirement.
Students can take the ACT test many times, and generally universities consider only the test with the highest score. All Juniors at Logan High take the ACT test in March, and this test date is free to the student and all arrangements are made in school. Students may otherwise sign up on their own with ACT to take the test on any national test date (about six times per year). Universities often offer a “residual” ACT which can be used only at that institution. (To link to USU’s Residual ACT test, go to www.registerblast.com/usu/exam.)
The test costs about $50, with additional fees possible for things like late registration, adding on a writing test (some universities or programs ask for this score), or signing for ACT’s advanced test preparation resources.
