Multiple Choice--the ACT Way!

The ACT Test is constructed predominantly of single-response, multiple-choice items. There are 4 ACT multiple-choice tests: English, Science, Math, and Reading. Materials designed for preparing students for the ACT multiple-choice tests can also be used for preparing students for the PLAN Test. The information in this wiki reflects ACT specifications. The PLAN Test for 10th graders is created by the same company and reflects similar specifications. For specific PLAN Test specifications, please see the official ACT Website at http://www.act.org/products/k-12-act-plan/ gclid=CKOK6JOH17UCFQk4nAodwGYA2Q#.UGW0J41lSIA.
