The ACT has long been recognized as one of the leading college entrance exams in the country and is accepted by all four-year colleges and universities in the United States. ACT's College and Career Readiness System provides a longitudinal approach to educational and career planning through assessment, curriculum support and student evaluation.
By taking the ACT, Arkansas students:
- can have scores sent directly to colleges and universities.
- make themselves visible to scholarship agencies.
- will receive results in approximately 6-8 weeks.
- will have an opportunity to research college majors based on their interests.
- will have an opportunity to utilize the “World-of-Work Map” to explore career areas.
But more importantly, each Arkansas student will be able to further his or her education and prepare for a successful future.
