English Learner Support on the ACT Test
English learner (EL) supports are now available on the ACT® test to U.S. students. The goal of the supports is to help ensure that the ACT scores earned by English learners accurately reflect what they have learned in school. EL supports are limited to students in a local school district's EL program who meet the current definitions of an English learner under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Students must apply for the English learner supports through their high school counselors' office. For more information, visit the ACT website.
