Each part takes 30 minutes and separately timed with the verbal sections containing 60 questions and the math sections 50. Students are not asked to answer questions about grammar, recall facts from literature, or recognize mathematical formulas. Instead, they are given verbal and mathematical information and asked to reason with it. Registration for the testing is now through October 16. Registration materials are available at the high school office.
Copies are also on sale at local bookstores and are available at area libraries.
We also have a computer program named Test Sense which students can use on a guidance office computer to help them prepare for taking the test as well as a video that students can view in the guidance office the week prior to October 16. The program has been developed by ACT and is used to help students get a head start on career and educational planning. The test date is October 13. The program will be administered and interpreted to the students by the counselors. Representatives from 47 Christian colleges will be available to answer questions and provide information about academic programs, financial aid and scholarships.
