For those who may not know the ACT is a national college admissions examination that tests students in English, Math, Reading, Science and Writing.

When I say take the ACT 12 times, I don't mean it literally. However, I encourage all Upward Bound Students to take the ACT as many times until you reach a 21 or above!

Why do I say 21? Because obtaining a 21 is slightly above average for students across the country and we know that all of our UB students are capable of reaching that score.

In addition, one of the many benefits of being in Upward Bound is all students are eligible to receive two fee waivers to take the ACT in a lifetime. How awesome is that! The ACT fee is $38.00 per test without writing and $54.40 with writing and students can take two test for FREE!

Having a higher ACT score opens up more opportunities for additional scholarships and students going to college for FREE.

It's a proven fact that when you take a test more than once and study for your test, your

score will go up.

You will be more familiar with the test if taken more than once.
