ACT

The Hawaii Department of Education is providing the opportunity for juniors at Farrington to take the ACT® test with writing at school for free during the testing window of February 24, 25, 26, 27, March 3, 4, 5, 2026 to assist students as they prepare for their future after high school. The ACT includes multiple-choice tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science, and a writing essay in English. It matches with the state’s education standards, measures what is learned in high school, and will provide a gauge of academic readiness for college classes.  Additionally, the results may be used when exploring college majors, careers, and life goals.
