ACT Tests for Seniors
Students wishing to take the ACT can pick up free test vouchers from the HHS Counseling Office. HHS is not a ACT testing location. Caldwell High School is a testing location and HHS can take the test at that location. HHS students are responsible for registering for the ACT and can do that in the counseling office at HHS. When registering for the ACT test, students need to indicate that they will be taking the test at Caldwell High School. It is important that students register for a test day that will not interfere with other commitments such as sports, FFA, band, drama or work schedules. After a student registers for a test and the date must be changed, a fee is charged to change the test date.
On test day, the arrival time is between 7:30 a.m.-7:45 a.m. Students are to bring two #2 pencils, an approved calculator, a photo ID.
