What is the main content of the ACT exam?
The ACT test consists of English, mathematics, reading, science and writing (optional test). Except for the composition part, all the questions in ACT are multiple-choice questions.

ACT English ACT English test covers a wide range, including a lot of English knowledge and skills. First of all, students should have a relatively mature grasp of basic writing methods, especially the expansion, organization, induction and summary of topics. In addition, students should have a certain degree of English knowledge and standard English conventions (sentence structure and composition, punctuation and usage). At this time, it is very important to cultivate students' vocabulary and sense of language.

The test time for the mathematics part of ACT is 60 minutes, with 60 questions in total. About 57-60% of the examination contents tend to be the mathematics knowledge reserve examination for further study of advanced mathematics, including algebra, geometry, statistics, probability and so on. Another 40-43% of the questions are about the comprehensive understanding ability and basic integration skills of candidates, requiring candidates to solve the concepts of ratio, percentage and proportional relationship.

ACT reading The ACT reading test is divided into four parts, three of which are a long article, and the other part contains two short articles, with a total of 40 multiple-choice questions, each of which is 10, which mainly examines the candidates' abilities of careful reading, logical reasoning and using multi-source information. The order in which the themes appear is fixed, namely, novels, social studies, humanities and natural sciences.

The ACT science examination includes biology, chemistry, earth/space science (geology, astronomy, meteorology) and physics. The examination questions focus on the real scientific research scene, and the topics often include charts, tables and research abstracts, focusing on the ability of candidates to explain, analyze, evaluate, reason and solve the problems required by natural science. Candidates should be able to identify and understand the basic characteristics and related concepts of the information provided; Critically analyze the relationship between the information provided and the conclusions or assumptions made; Summarize new information from known information, draw conclusions or make predictions.

Scientific testing emphasizes scientific skills and practice, rather than simply recalling scientific content. In ACT science examination, data interpretation related questions account for 45-55%, scientific research questions account for 20-30%, and the final model, inference and evaluation of experimental results account for about 25-35%.

Act Writing In the ACT exam, writing is regarded as an option for candidates, but in fact, in the application process, many schools require candidates' ACT writing scores. Even if some schools do not explicitly require students to submit their composition scores in the ACT exam, they will still take the writing scores as reference items in their applications. ?

ACT writing is a 40-minute composition test, which aims to measure the writing ability of candidates. The stem of the question contains writing tips, and puts forward three different viewpoints on a phenomenon or problem, requiring candidates to analyze, extend and analyze the relationship between the three views according to the topic. It mainly evaluates candidates' opinions and analysis, and requires candidates to develop arguments and arguments to show the logical organization, language expression and vocabulary application of article writing.

After the reform of 2065 438+05 ACT, the topic of writing expanded from persuasive articles to argumentative ones. The article requires the analysis, extension and discrimination of the relationship between the three viewpoints. The quality of the composition mainly depends on the author's views and analysis, elaboration and argument support, as well as the logical organization, language expression and vocabulary application of the article. The two judges evaluated the composition of 1-6 in these four dimensions, and finally added up the scores to convert them.
