Are you not pleased with your ACT score? Does it not put you in the range for admissions or scholarships? Do you know what the a Residual Act is? If you don't, then you should! I have been telling students about it forever. Let me tell you about it. It is an alternative exam that is very similar to the ACT.. Only a few colleges in Alabama offer it. The colleges use it to base not only admission, but scholarships as well. Jacksonville State University uses it and are giving one on January 5th. You can only use your scores from this test at Jacksonville.
Counseling and Testing Services Residual ACTGeneral Information Taking the Residual ACT will provide you with an ACT score that will only be used by JSU for your admission to our university. Test questions measure your knowledge in several subject areas - English, mathematics, reading, and science. Pre-registration is required and seating is limited. The cost of the test is $60.00, paid at time of registration. Register by phone with a credit card or pay in person. No stand-by registration. Registration closes at 4:00 p.m. the day before the test if there are seats still available. Examinees should bring No. 2 lead pencils, photo ID (ex., driver's license), and a calculator approved by ACT. Contact Counseling and Testing Services at (256) 782-5475. I would really like to encourage each of you that is still unsure of where you are going to college to consider one of Alabama’s community college options. Community College offers a quality education at a very affordable cost. I want to encourage you not to look at these options as “consolation prizes” as opposed to four-year colleges. Most offer excellent academic scholarship options and offer scholarships in the areas of performing arts, Ambassador Scholarships, and Scholarships for Technical Degrees. Most scholarship deadlines for the Community Colleges are March 1. The classes that you take will transfer to any four-year college in Alabama. Most all of Alabama’s four-year colleges offer transfer scholarships that do not consider your ACT score. I have always been a huge proponent for the Community College system, having taught there myself for over ten years. I find that may high school students are not prepared for the transition into a traditional four-year college. The smaller class sizes that are offered with the Community College system allows students to adjust to college life, learn to take notes, and to gain study skills. Some of the most successful people I know began their education at a Community College. If a student qualifies for Federal Financial Aid, the maximum amount will more than cover the cost of attendance. If you have not checked out a Community College option, please check one out today!
