ACT Information for JUNIORS

Planning on taking the ACT this year? There are many opportunities & options for taking the test and for Test Prep.

• The ACT will be offered at GRHS on Weds March 11, 2026. We will not be offering the writing portion; many colleges/universities do not require it but check with any you are considering attending or need it for scholarships. Do I need to take the Writing portion? Cost is $58 and will be able to be paid through check or cash or online prior to taking the test; it is waived for students who have completed the Free/reduced lunch application and were approved for the current school year. More information will be available in January. (Please note: the district offering of ACT does NOT give your answers back. You MUST test on the national test day for this service**)

• ACT National Test Dates are available at act.org. The 25/26 test dates are on Saturdays: Feb 14, April 11, June 13, July 11. You will need GRHS ACT code: 240990 to sign up. Fee Waivers will be available in counseling in October for free/reduced lunch students.
• Test Information Release (TIR) Oct, April or June is that you can purchase Test Information Release (TIR) which allows you to receive a digital copy of the multiple-choice test questions, your answers, a copy of your answer document, the answer key, and the conversion table used in determining your ACT scores. If you took the optional writing test, you will receive a copy of the writing prompt, the writing test scoring rubric, and your essay scores. However, the cost to take the test on national test day is more, and the TIR service costs $32 if you sign up before you test.
• The fees for national test dates can be found on this link
