ACTNew ACT Test Center was established in Bishkek on the base of Bishkek Resource Center Soros Foundation Kyrgyzstan. Now every student in Kyrgyzstan has the opportunity to take the ACT test if he/she wants to do undergraduate studies in the US. ACT (American College Test) - A popular alternative to the SAT because it tests students on the core coursework they are already learning in school (specifically English, Mathematics, Reading (in English), and Science, and an optional Writing section). The ACT is accepted by every 4-year college and university in the USA for entry into their undergraduate programs. The ACT (No Writing) consists of four multiple-choice tests: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The ACT Plus Writing includes the four multiple-choice tests and a Writing Test.
