The ACT is a standardized test used by almost all of the colleges in the United States to assess a student’s success in college. It was first introduced back in 1959 and all colleges and universities in the United States now accept the ACT for students applying for admission.
The ACT is administered free of charge to all VAHS Juniors in the spring as part of our State Testing Program. Scores from this test can be submitted for college applications. Often times student will re-take the ACT a second time through a National Test Center in order to improve their scores or "Superscore" their subtests to enhance their college admission chances.
Because of how many students are taking the ACT every year, some of the best colleges and universities in the country require applicants to have scores of over 27 or within the 10% of those who took the test. The minimum composite score all of the UNC System colleges is 17. As such, students need to know how to do well on the ACT in order to conquer the exam .
