The ACT Plus Writing Test is the capstone of the ACT College and Career Readiness System. It measures students’ general learning outcomes in English, math, reading, writing, and science. This assessment is administered once a year to all grade 11 students. ACT data is used to qualify students for the Hathaway Scholarship Program.
Wyoming law requires the University of Wyoming and the Community College Commission to coordinate recruitment and retention incentives for students graduating from Wyoming secondary schools. Prior to taking the ACT, students complete the pre-test survey. This information is provided by WDE to Wyoming post-secondary institutions. The pre-test survey questions are optional and can be reviewed by parents prior to the testing window. Please contact your child’s school directly for more information or to review the survey items.
