ACT to Add Writing Test, February 2005

 

ACT will add a 30-minute Writing Test as an optional component to the ACT Assessment beginning in February 2005 for students applying to college for the fall semester of 2006 or later.  The ACT Writing Test will complement the English Test.  The combined information from both tests will tell postsecondary institutions about student’s understanding of the conventions of standard written English and their ability to produce a direct sample of writing.  Some colleges will require the Writing Test; others will not.  Most colleges will accept scores from the Writing Test even if they do not require the test.  Students who take the ACT Assessment will decide whether to include the Writing Test based on the requirements of the institutions to which they are applying. See your Counselor in Room 212 or 216 for more information.   (Taken from ACT’s website www.act.org).
