New ACT website devoted to students
ACT today launched
http://www.actstudent.org a new website for students taking the college
admissions exam. The new site features information that changes according to the
needs the student has during the school year.
"Students need clear information when preparing for college and for admissions
tests," said Jon Erickson, vice president-educational services. "We have worked
to make the information friendly and easy-to-find. We know that this time is
stressful for students and we want to make sure that they have access to
information that will make the process as easy as possible."
ACT has organized the material on the website based on experience with students'
website visits and knowledge of the questions they ask ACT staff. The
information at
www.actstudent.org will change, anticipating students' needs as they
register for the test, prepare for the test and use the test scores after taking
the test.
"Students ask a lot of questions, like what kind of calculator can be used.
We've put the answers to these popular questions in easy-to-find locations,"
Erickson says.
Services and information at
www.actstudent.org include:
- Online registration, early scores and score reporting
- Information about the ACT (test dates, deadlines, content of the test, etc.)
- Free test prep questions and information
- College search and online applications
- Financial aid need estimator
- The ACT Store, which features electronic and paper test prep products
- Additional college planning information, including Student Stories
