Register ACT In Nigeria

The ACT is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It was first introduced earlier in November 1959 by University of Iowa professor Everett Franklin Lindquist as a competitor to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).

It is currently administered by ACT, a nonprofit organization of the same name. The American College Testing originally consisted of four tests. This tests include English, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Natural Sciences.

However In 1989, the Social Studies test was changed into a Reading section (which included a social sciences subsection). Also the Natural Sciences test was renamed the Science Reasoning test, with more emphasis on problem-solving skills as opposed to memorizing scientific facts.

Hence In February 2005, an optional writing test was added to the American College Testing, similarly, mirroring changes to the SAT that took place in March of the same year.

In 2013, American College Testing announced that students would be able to take the American College Testing by computer starting in the spring of 2015. However, by the fall of 2017, computer-based ACT tests were available only for school-day testing at limited school districts in the US. Greater availability was not expected until at least the fall of 2018.

The ACT has seen a gradual increase in the number of test takers since its inception. In 2011 the American College Testing surpassed the SAT for the first time in total test takers. That year, 1,666,017 students took the ACT and 1,664,479 students took the SAT.

All four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. accept the ACT. Although, different institutions place different emphases on standardized tests such as the ACT. Other factors that draws emphasis includes class rank, GPA, and extracurricular activities.

ACT Test Locations and Date

The ACT test is taken all year round, especially on weekends. There are few authorized American College Testing test locations currently administering the ACT iBT test in Nigeria, Ghana.

Because of the high demand for the test, seats get quickly filled up. Students are encouraged to enroll ahead of time in order to get their preferred test dates and locations.
