GAC is a program to provide students with a Global Assessment Certificate and the ACT is an entry exam to Universities�well in USA. Those are the programs apparently getting started in China. Those programs/courses are managed by ACT Education Solution Limited. According to the prints of Global Assessment Certificate course books copies the Head Office is in North Sydney, Australia. The ACT has got a company/office in China that�s been located in Shanghai and that�s been trying to sell their courses to schools around.

These courses are to get Chinese students ready for western unies as well as ready for those ACT exams to make it clearer for you guys that might not be as familiar with it.

Now, I would like to know more about these programs, company and any experience anyone could share on this forum with me. There must be some teachers around that are involved in the programs, since this site has previously advertised for positions with ACT in China.

Peace to ACT, GAC and their agents
and
Cheers and beers to all hard working FTs everywhere

My experience with ACT is that it is not the exam used to get into universities in the States. ACT seems to be accepted by private institutes /universities (like the Art Institute of ...). If students want to go to public / state universities or well known private universities, then the ACT will not help them.

Seems to me that international students wouldn't take the ACT anyway, as unis require TOEFL scores instead.

I suppose if they wanted to try for a scholarship... Confused

FWIW, every university in our state accepts the ACT.
