ACT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The idea (in theory, at least) is to provide colleges with one common criterion that can be used to compare all applicants. The weight placed on ACT scores varies from school to school. Other important factors that schools consider in their admissions decisions are your high school GPA, academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, interviews and personal essays.
The Popularity of the ACT
The ACT has witnessed a consistent rise in the number of test-takers since its inception. Notably, in 2011, it overtook the SAT in total test-takers, with 1,666,017 students choosing the ACT compared to 1,664,479 students opting for the SAT.
All four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. accept the ACT, though the emphasis on standardized tests varies across institutions. Factors such as class rank, GPA, and extracurricular activities are also significant in the evaluation process.
ACT Scoring System
The ACT consists of four main tests: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning. Each test is scored individually on a scale of 1–36. The composite score is the rounded whole number average of these four scores. Subject test scores, including English, mathematics, and reading, range from 1 to 36, with additional subscores ranging from 1 to 18.
Students opting for the writing test receive a separate score from 2 to 12, which does not impact the composite score. The ACT introduced changes in 2015, including the removal of the combined English/writing score and the addition of new combined scores for ELA (English, Reading, Writing) and STEM (Math, Science).
ACT Test Structure and Grading
For each correct answer on the ACT, a student earns one raw point, and there is no penalty for marking incorrect answers in the multiple-choice section. This no-penalty system is akin to certain AP Tests, enhancing the flexibility for students to attempt all questions without fear of score reduction.
The ACT provides a fair and comprehensive evaluation platform that allows students to showcase their abilities without the fear of being penalized for incorrect responses.

"Hello, A few months into my grade 12, I began to decide how and where to start coaching for the ACT, the standardized test I needed for my college application. Having gone through them once already for grade 11 Physics, my first choice was of course Catalyze Center, who once again put me through to two experienced and warm teachers for English and Math. Twice a week sessions with them for a month and a half strengthened both my confidence and my knowledge of the subject itself, and I'm very grateful for them in assisting me to get the 31 I ended up scoring. Thank you very much teachers Mrs. Sunanda and Mrs. Shweta and Catalyze."
