On-Campus ACT
The Jax State On-Campus ACT (Formerly Residual ACT) is an additional testing option administered in months when the National ACT is unavailable and is administered on Jax State's campus. The On-Campus ACT is designated for students that have been admitted to Jax State with its main purpose to aid our potential and current students in attaining appropriate scores for scholarship requirements and program admission. On-Campus ACT scores can only be used by Jax State and cannot be sent to another college/university, NCAA, etc.
There is no difference between the tests that are administered during National or On-Campus ACT. Questions measure your knowledge in four subject areas - English, mathematics, reading, and science. The writing portion of the ACT is not available through the On-Campus ACT. On-Campus ACT scores cannot be calculated in a “superscore.” You can prepare for the ACT by visiting http://www.actstudent.org/
