Is the ACT Aspire test mandatory?

Hi everyone! I've heard of the ACT Aspire test and am wondering if it's mandatory for college admissions or if it's just an optional test to help with ACT prep? Any info on this would be super helpful, thanks!

The ACT Aspire test is not mandatory for college admissions. It's an optional test designed to assess students' academic skills in English, math, reading, science, and writing. The primary purpose of the ACT Aspire is to help students, teachers, and parents understand a student's academic progress and readiness for high school, the ACT, or other college entrance exams.

That being said, taking the ACT Aspire can be beneficial for students looking to gauge their strengths and areas that need improvement. It can provide valuable insights into your current academic standing and help you prepare for the ACT or other standardized tests required for college admissions. However, taking the ACT Aspire is not a requirement for college applications, and not participating in the test will not negatively impact your chances of admission.
