So youre taking the ACT. What will you need to do first? This chapter presents an overview of the ACT as a whole and discusses registration requirements, when to take the test, how to have your scores reported to colleges (or how not to), and the ways in which colleges use your scores.

The ACT is a standardized test used for college admissions. But you probably already knew that. In this book, well tell you all the things you didnt know about the ACT, all to show you how to crack the test and get your best score.

The ACT is traditionally a pencil-and-paper exam but is now given online as well. While the test is usually taken on Saturday mornings, some states offer a special state-administration during the school day. Non-Saturday testing is available but only for students who live in remote areas or who cant test on Saturdays for religious reasons.
