What Are The CUNY-ACT Tests Of Reading And Writing Like?
The CUNY-ACT test of reading is composed of three long reading passages with eight questions about each passage. These 24 questions ask you to find the main idea, details and inferred points of the passages. Deaf students are allowed double time to take it which means approximately 2 hours. A score of 65 at the time of admisssion means you do not need to take basic reading courses. A score of 65 after successfully completing CSE099 means that you have completed the basic reading sequence of courses. For the CUNY-ACT test of writing, you must write a letter to a specific person or committee member suggesting which of two proposals you think is better. You must give reasons why you support a particular proposal in two or three body paragraphs and add a conclusion which briefly re-states and emphasizes your points. Two readers each give your letter a score between 1 and 6. You must have a combined score of 7 to pass the CUNY-ACT writing test.
