American College Test (A.C.T.)

http://www.act.org/

The ACT is an entrance exam for incoming undergraduate students. The results are valid for admission to the CU System only. If you have taken the residual ACT you must wait 60 days before you can retest. The English portion of the ACT is offered for placement into UCCS English courses. 

Each of the ACT multiple-choice tests is constructed to measure knowledge and skills typically taught in high school that are important for successfully completing a college education.  The exam consists of four parts: English, Mathematics, Science, and Reading.

Exam Dates: The ACT is administered the first Saturday of each month. If the first Saturday happens to fall on a holiday weekend, testing will be rescheduled for the following Saturday. Also, if the testing center does not have at least three individuals scheduled for testing, testing will be canceled until the following month. The Testing Center may also change dates if there is a conflict with other testing dates.
