ACTTutor.com is an independent source of unbiased information on the ACT. We'll show you how to make informed choices on standardized testing and help you prepare for strong test scores. Administered by American College Testing, a non-profit education group, the ACT is taken by more than 2 million students annually. In some states, the ACT is given to every high school student (college-bound or not) for policy, assessment, and research purposes. The ACT is widely accepted by universities in the United States, and is chosen by more applicants than the SAT at many schools. National admissions data seem to indicate that both tests are viewed on an equal footing, and that neither test gives an inherent advantage in the admissions process. Students should choose the ACT over the SAT if they have legitimate reasons to believe the ACT presents their abilities in the best possible light.

In other countries, there are five test dates between September and the following June. The ACT website lists all test dates for the next two academic years, and students may search for test centers nationally and internationally.
