ACT Web site devoted to students

ACT has launched www.actstudent.org for students taking the college admissions

exam. The new site features information that changes according to the needs

the student has during the school year.

"Students need clear information when preparing for college and for

admissions tests," said Jon Erickson, vice president of educational

services. "We have worked to make the information friendly and easy-to-find.

We know that this time is stressful for students and we want to make sure

that they have access to information that will make the process as easy as

possible."

ACT has organized the material on the website based on experience with

students' Web site visits and knowledge of the questions they ask ACT staff.

The information at www.actstudent.org will change, anticipating students'

needs as they register for the test, prepare for the test and use the test

scores after taking the test.

"Students ask a lot of questions, like what kind of calculator can

be used. We've put the answers to these popular questions in easy-to-find

locations," Erickson said.

Services and information at www.actstudent.org include:

- Online registration, early scores and score reporting.

- Information about the ACT (test dates, deadlines, content of the test,

etc.).

- Free test prep questions and information.

- College search and online applications.

- Financial aid need estimator.

- The ACT Store, which features electronic and paper test prep products.

- Additional college planning information, including Student Stories.
