What is the ACT test?

The ACT is a widely accepted college entrance exam. It assesses high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work.  The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science.   There is an optional Writing Test, which is measures skills in planning and writing a short essay.  WMHS strongly advises all of our students to take the optional Writing test when taking the ACT.
