MMY Review of ACT Test
General Information The ACT test was first introduced in 1959 as a competitor to the SAT test published by the College Board. It was designed to measure how well a student could perform skills necessary for college work.

There is also an optional Writing assessment for an additional fee. These assessments are reviewed every three to four years to assess what information students need to know and have mastery of when entering college.
