ACT
ACT
Nova Classical Academy registers and administers the ACT for all 11th graders each spring (typically the end of March). Students are encouraged the take the test more then once if at all possible. That can happen prior to the District Testing in March, or after. ACT tests can often be booked months in advance, so it is encouraged to plan accordingly. Nova Classical Academy only pays for District Testing once in 11th grade. All other test events are paid for by the student/family.

ACT vs. SAT
ACT vs. SAT
It can be difficult for a student to know whether or not they should take both the SAT and ACT, or just one of them. Typically, I recommend that a student use their PSAT score from 10th and/or 11th grade as a predictor of potentially how well they might do on the SAT. Students can also take the ACT prior to District Testing in March of 11th grade to compare with their 10th grade PSAT score and determine where to go from there.
Some students may be applying to colleges/universities that may only take one or the other. This information also can be used to determine which test may be most appropriate.
Linked below are some webpages from three different sources (The Princeton Review, College Board, and ACT) that may help you learn more about the differences between the two tests.
