ACT Test
	ACT Writing

Fulbright EducationUSA Advising Center in Budapest, Hungary has been established as an official international test center for the ACT college admission and placement exam. The ACT is a requirement for students planning to pursue their undergraduate degree at most colleges and universities in the United States.

ACT scores are used in the admission process to help U.S. colleges and universities determine how ready applicants are to succeed in first-year coursework at their institution. Many colleges also use ACT scores to help place first-year students in courses appropriate to their level of skills and to award college credit.

The ACT is accepted for admission purposes by every single four-year college and university in the United States, including all Ivy League institutions.

The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students have learned in school. It consists of four required multiple-choice tests in English, mathematics, reading and science and an optional essay writing test. Some U.S. colleges require students to submit writing scores, but many do not.

The ACT is administered internationally on five annual test dates occurring in October, December, February, April, and June. Not all ACT test centers offer the exam on all five test dates. The ACT will be offered this testing cycle at the Fulbright EducationUSA Advising Center on the following test dates:

December 11, 2010
February 12, 2011
April 9, 2011

To register to take the ACT at this location, students must visit ACT's website, www.actstudent.org, and follow the online registration procedures. The deadline to register is the Friday five weeks before each test date.

The international registration fee is $58 for the traditional ACT and $73 for the ACT Plus Writing. The optional ACT Writing Test is offered on selected test dates internationally.

ACT's website, www.actstudent.org, offers students helpful information, free sample tests and inexpensive test prep materials.
