ACT

New 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.

Test			Content
English	75 questions	45 minutes	Measures standard written English and rhetorical skills.
Mathematics	60 questions	60 minutes	Measures mathematical skills students have typically acquired in courses taken up to the beginning of grade 12.
Reading	40 questions	35 minutes	Measures reading comprehension.
Science	40 questions	35 minutes	Measures the interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills required in the natural sciences.
