ACT TEST
The ACT is required for admissions at most college and universities in the state of Utah, as well as out of state institutions. Many merit based scholarships require ACT scores for eligibility.
(See admission index under scholarship page)
The ACT is offered to all students in their junior year at no cost. Test date is usually the first week in March.
Most students who take the ACT an additional time see an increased score.
Senior students who require scores for college admission and/or scholarships should take the exam early in the fall in order to receive scores in time. (See individual colleges for specific deadlines.)
