ACT International Subject Tests are end-of-course assessments that rigorously measure students’ understanding of content and practices in each subject. The tests are derived from ACT research. In addition to measuring whether students have mastered ACT course standards, these tests predict success in postsecondary courses. Tests are available in the following subjects: ELA (English 1 and 2), Math (Math 1 and 2), Science (Biology and Chemistry).
The ACT International Subject Tests can be used as companion tests with the ACT for MENA college admission.
The ACT is the leading college admissions test used in the U.S. and is comprised of separate tests measuring reading, English, mathematics, and science (as well as an optional writing test). These scores are reported on a 1-36 scale, and there are additional scores which are reported through combining scores from the above tests: STEM (mathematics and science), ELA (English, reading, and writing), and an overall ACT Composite (English, mathematics, reading, and science).

You can receive accommodations on the ACT International Subject Tests if you need it. After you register, your school must send us an application with the appropriate documentation to request the accommodation(s). We will review your application then we will approve or deny your request. If we don’t approve your request, then you cannot have the accommodation(s) on the test.

Biology test questions ask students to solve problems and demonstrate understanding of topics including: biochemistry and the cell, genetics and evolution, and animal and plant systems and ecology. Students must demonstrate an understanding of scientific practices by applying knowledge of scientific inquiry and by using mathematics, measurement, and graphical models to solve problems.
Chemistry test questions ask students to solve problems and demonstrate understanding of topics including: states of matter and phase changes, mole concept, chemical formulas, chemical equations, stoichiometry, gas laws, atomic structure, periodicity, chemical bonding, solution properties, Le Chatelier’s principle, basic thermodynamics, and acids and bases. Chemistry test questions ask students to apply proportional reasoning and other mathematical thinking to solve problems.
Students can affirm the algebra and geometry skills typically developed through the first years of secondary school. These skills include solving equations, drawing conclusions from data, finding areas and volumes, and making judgments about proofs. Calculators are encouraged, and a reference sheet provides common formulas.
Students can affirm their advanced algebra and precalculus skills. These skills include understanding complex numbers, modeling with vectors and matrices, applying advanced functions, finding limits, fitting a normal distribution, and interpreting graphs in the polar coordinate plane. Calculators are encouraged, and a reference sheet provides common formulas.
English 1 and 2 assess students’ knowledge, skills, and abilities as readers and writers. Questions use a diverse collection of authentic, high-quality texts that have been taught in successful classrooms across the United States, including drama, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry texts, as well as film scripts. The English tests also assess knowledge and skills required to write effectively in high school and college.
