Molly and Neve talk about their experience at Summit Prep:
Test site locations can vary by test date (not all schools give the test on every ACT test date). You can check for which test sites are offering the ACT on a given test date here. But, better (since those test sites might be filled) is to simply go through the process of registering for the ACT. At the end of the registration process, you will be prompted to select a test date and then you can choose from the available test locations.

The ACT (American College Testing) college readiness assessment is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. The ACT is designed to measure a student’s preparedness for colleges and universities by testing skills in five core areas: English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing (optional).
The ACT is a significant determinant in college admission and scholarship decisions. Whether your child struggles with the fundamentals, the “tricks” and testing strategy, the most advanced topics, or simply a lack of testing confidence, our instructors will identify and amend any areas of weakness and enhance areas of strength. Instead of ACT scores being a soft spot on your child’s academic resume, we will help ensure that these scores reflect and amplify your child’s potential.
For information about extended time on the ACT, whether to apply for it and how to get it, please see our comprehensive blog post about it here: Extended Time on the SAT and ACT.
The ACT is composed of four multiple-choice sections (English, Math, Reading, and Science) and one optional Writing section (the essay). Total testing time is 2 hours and 55 minutes for the ACT without Writing and 3 hours and 35 minutes for the ACT with Writing. The breakdown of each section is as follows:
Section | # of Questions | Time | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
English | 75 | 45 min | Grammar and Rhetorical skills: punctuation, sentence structure, and essay organization |
Math | 60 | 60 min | Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Trigonometry |
Reading | 40 | 35 min | Reading Comprehension |
Science | 40 | 35 min | Reading graphs and tables and some scientific reasoning |
Optional Essay | 1 | 40 min | Write a persuasive essay about a given topic and show the pros and cons of the given perspectives on that topic |
Be organized and remember to bring at least two #2 pencils, calculator, identification, admission ticket, fresh batteries, a watch, and a high energy snack (see here for what to eat on test day to maximize mental energy).
Get a good night rest and, in the morning, eat a hearty breakfast and double-check that you have everything.
Take the test just like you did practice tests: don’t double-check your answers until you have finished a section (unless you normally do so as you go along, which is rare) and don’t get stuck on difficult questions. If you would skip a question on a practice test, skip it (put down your best guess) on the real test.
Don’t rush. Remember: You’ve prepared for this. You’ve got this.
