ACT Assessments (National & Residual Exams)
The ACT Exam measures skills in four major curriculum areas: English, Mathematics, Reading and Science Reasoning. Results may be used by TCC counselors/advisors to place students in courses appropriate to their skill level. Also, certain programs at TCC require the ACT as part of their application process.
