ACT
State and National Testing
Students will need to take the ACT for college entrance as well as scholarship opportunities. While the ACT may be taken at any time, the 11th-grade year is typically when students take the exam. Please see below for the 2023-2024 state and district test dates when students will have the opportunity to take the ACT, ACT WorkKeys or Pre-ACT on campus during the school day for free. In addition, ACT offers several national testing dates each year.
