Who Are ACT Item Writers?

ACT item writers are educators like you from across the United States. We work with a diverse group of item writers to help ensure that our English, Reading, Mathematics, and Science Tests represent what is being taught in classrooms nationwide and reflect a balance in gender, race/ethnicity, and geographical representation.

Teachers for grades 3 through 8 can develop test materials for grade-level Reading, Science, and Mathematics Tests. Teachers for grade 8 can also develop test materials for the EXPLORE^® program.

High school teachers can develop test materials for the EXPLORE, PLAN^®, and ACT^® programs.

Postsecondary educators can develop test materials for the ACT program.
