The Research-Driven Solution to Raise the Quality of High School Courses

Research Based

Decades of ACT research have made it clear: when it comes to college and career readiness, it's not just the number of classes a student takes—it's the content of those classes that matters most. Preparation for college or career requires solid, rigorous instruction in core subjects.

Unique

ACT Subject Test is a unique, research-based curriculum and end-of-course-based program designed to raise the quality and intensity of twelve core high school courses.

Designed in Partnership

Based on research and designed in partnership with the nation's leading educators, the program offers a comprehensive, aligned approach to building and measuring student skills and knowledge.

Subject Tests Offered

Biology

Chemistry test questions ask students to solve problems and demonstrate understanding of topics including: states of matter and phase changes, mole concept, chemical formulas, chemical equations, stoichiometry, gas laws, atomic structure, periodicity, chemical bonding, solution properties, Le Chatelier's principle, basic thermodynamics, and acids and bases. Chemistry test questions ask students to apply proportional reasoning and other mathematical thinking to solve problems.

Chemistry

Physics

Physics test questions ask students to solve problems and demonstrate understanding of topics including forces and motion (e.g., displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum, force, impulse, Work-Energy theorem, power, work), fundamental forces (e.g., Newton's law of gravitation, Coulomb's law, magnetism, Ohm's law, circuits), and waves and periodic motion (e.g., wave speed, frequency, wavelength, wave types, simple harmonic motion, Doppler effect, optics). Physics test questions ask students to apply proportional reasoning, graphical models, and other mathematical thinking to solve problems.

Mathematics I

Students can affirm the algebra and geometry skills typically developed through the first years of secondary school. These skills include solving equations, drawing conclusions from data, finding areas and volumes, and making judgments about proofs. Calculators are encouraged, and a reference sheet provides common formulas.

Mathematics II

Students can affirm their advanced algebra and precalculus skills. These skills include understanding complex numbers, modeling with vectors and matrices, applying advanced functions, finding limits, fitting a normal distribution, and interpreting graphs in the polar coordinate plane. Calculators are encouraged, and a reference sheet provides common formulas.

U.S. History

U.S. History test covers a yearlong detailed overview of United States history, from the country's beginnings to the post–World War II era. Test questions ask student to show knowledge and insight into the forging of the new nation, the sectional conflicts that nearly tore it apart, and the Civil War and Reconstruction. Student needs to know about nineteenth-century industrialization and urbanization, the growth of the West and the "New South," and political efforts to reform capitalism. Student will also analyze the effects of the Great Depression and the New Deal, the Cold War and the United States' role as a world power, and more recent challenges such as movements for equality, environmental issues, and global terrorism. Studentshould be able to investigate and interpret past events, and apply what you have learned to real-world situations.

English I and II

ACT Subject Tests for English I and II assess students' knowledge, skills, and abilities as readers and writers. Questions use a diverse collection of authentic, high-quality texts that have been taught in successful classrooms across the United States, including drama, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry texts, as well as film scripts. The English tests also assess knowledge and skills required to write effectively in high school and college.

ACT Subject Tests Provide Rigor and Readiness to Your Curriculum

The ACT is the leading college admissions test used in the U.S. and is comprised of separate tests measuring reading, English, mathematics, and science (as well as an optional writing test). These scores are reported on a 1-36 scale, and there are additional scores which are reported through combining scores from the above tests: STEM (mathematics and science), ELA (English, reading, and writing), and an overall ACT Composite (English, mathematics, reading, and science).

ACT Subject Tests are end-of-course assessments that rigorously measure students' understanding of content and practices in each subject. The tests are derived from ACT research. In addition to measuring whether students have mastered ACT course standards, these tests predict success in postsecondary courses. Tests are available in the following subjects: ELA (English I and II), Math (Math I and II), Science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) and U.S. History. Tests are comprised of 70 or more selected response items and meet the same psychometric specifications as all ACT test solutions.
