Testing

In 9th and 10th grades, students take the Pre-ACT. “PreACT® assessments offer 9th, and 10th graders an early experience with ACT test items, provides a predicted ACT test score, and offers a wealth of information to help students get the start they need to be college ready. Anchored on the ACT college and career readiness standards, PreACT assessments help educators, students, and parents, identify areas of academic strength and opportunity.”

 

The PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) gives select 10th and 11th graders a chance to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Corporation’s scholarship programs. The PSAT/NMSQT measures verbal reasoning, critical reading, and math problem-solving and writing skills.

 

11th graders are required to take the ACT on or before the April test date if they haven’t done so already.
