ACT

Although the ACT is less known in Poland, it can also be used when applying to universities in the United States and Europe, just as the SAT. You can take the ACT in Poznań or Skawina (read more about the ACT).

The ACT is not a mandatory part of the application; however, if you apply for admission to the best universities in the world, you should consider taking this test. If you wish to stand out from hundreds of thousands of applicants, you should carefully consider various aspects of your application (for information on whether to take the ACT and the SAT, read here). 

What Skills Does the ACT Verify?

The ACT tests your critical thinking, problem-solving, reading comprehension, mathematical, and decision-making skills. The test consists of multiple-choice questions – for the humanities part, the questions consist of four options, and for the math part, of five options. When solving tasks in the math part, you can use a calculator.
