ACT
The ACT examination is administered to students who are seeking admission into Universities. This is a paper and pencil exam and has four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science Reasoning.
NOTE: Starting in 2005, ACT
will have two test options-the ACT Assessment and the ACT Assessment Plus
Writing (which includes a 30-minute Writing Test). While not all colleges
and universites will require the Writing Test, UTSA will. Check with the
college/university you plan to attend or go to www.actstudent.org
for a list of institutions that require or recommend
the Writing Test.
Prior to 2005, the Writing Test will not be required for admission to
UTSA. However, any ACT Test taken in 2005 and sent to UTSA for admission
WILL REQUIRE the new Writing Test.
