Format

The ACT is a paper and pencil test that lasts approximately four and a quarter hours without the essay and five hours with the essay. Please bring plenty of sharpened #2 pencils. You may also bring a calculator that is not a minicomputer, cell phone calculator or pocket organizer. Any calculator malfunction is the responsibility of the examinee.
