Juniors, sign up to take the optional ACT on Tuesday, October 21, 2025 at SHS to prepare for your required Spring ACT test date on March 24, 2026.

What is the ACT?

The ACT® test, a curriculum-based educational and career planning tool, is the leading college readiness assessment in the United States. The ACT is based on what students learn in high school and reports achievement levels related to the college and career readiness standards.

The ACT contains four multiple-choice tests—English, mathematics, reading, and science—and a writing test. These tests are designed to measure skills that are most important for success in postsecondary education. The score range for each of the four multiple-choice tests is 1–36. The Composite score is the average of the four test scores rounded to the nearest whole number.

Why take the optional Fall ACT?

• Help yourself prepare for the atmosphere and routine of a high stakes standardized test

• Reduce stress levels by testing in a familiar environment on a regular school day

• Contribute personalized information to explore future college and career decisions based on your strengths, weaknesses, and interests

• Use your scores to apply for financial aid and scholarships

• Eliminate potential transportation concerns for traveling to a test site on the weekend

• Reduced cost from a national test day ($93)
