The ACT program is a comprehensive system for collecting and reporting information about students planning to enter postsecondary education. Additionally, many organizations that offer merit or academic scholarships will identify and award financial assistance based on scores from a college admissions exam.

Administering the college admissions exam as part of required state testing permits students to take the exam at no cost to them. Meeting benchmarks on the ACT is one-way students may demonstrate academic readiness in the Transition Readiness indicator of the state's accountability system for schools.īeyond the state use of results, the state-administered college admissions exam also benefits students, their parents and educators in several ways. KDE's primary use of the college admissions exam is to measure students' level of readiness for college in core academic content areas. The Kentucky Department of Education will continue to seek funding for future years' administrations in order to comply with Senate Bill 1. Therefore, Grade 10 students will not take the state administration of the ACT during spring 2022. The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) was unable to secure the additional funding needed to test sophomores during spring 2022.
