Welcome to your Junior Year Class of 2022!!!!!!!

Important ACT Info for Juniors!

Many of you are beginning to receive your ACT scores from the test you took here at school in February. If you want to register to take the ACT again or to send your scores to colleges, follow these steps:

• Go to act.org

• Create an account

• You will be asked 2 questions:

1. Have you taken the ACT before? you will answer Yes

2. Have you registered for the ACT before? you will answer No (since we at school registered you)

3. You will then need to provide your ACT ID number located on your score report. The ACT ID will link your account with your score from the test you took here at school.

Stop by the Counseling Office if you have any questions!

College Visits/Open House Information

Junior year is a great time to start visiting colleges and attending Open Houses and Information Sessions. Visiting a college helps you to see if the college is a good fit for you and gives you the opportunity to talk to campus staff, meet students, learn more about campus life and even schedule to attend a class. College websites will have information on scheduling campus visits and open house events.

If you attend a college visit on a school day, be sure to ask for documentation that you were visiting that college that day and turn it in to Ms. Hagstrom in the counseling office.

ACT/SAT Information

All 11th graders planning on attending a 4 year college or university will need to take the SAT and/or the ACT for college admissions. We encourage students to try both tests before the end of their junior year and once you receive your scores, take a second test of the one you scored better on and felt most comfortable with. The good news is......you all will take the SAT and ACT for FREE in the spring here at school! You don't have to register for those tests, we will do that for you! For any tests you choose to take outside of school, register on the sites below:

SAT-College Board

ACT

All 11th graders will take the ACT and SAT in the spring at school. These scores can be reported to colleges, so we will encourage juniors to take advantage of the 4 free scores reports that can be sent to colleges they are considering as well as participate in the ACT Educational Opportunity Service and College Board Student Search Service.

Below is a letter that will be handed out to students in homeroom in the spring that details this information and provides the codes for all NC colleges and universities. Please contact the School Counseling office if you have any questions!

Not planning on going to a 4 year college or university????? The SAT and ACT can still benefit you! Community colleges can use any SAT or ACT scores you have to help with class placement in math and english college classes and could possibly waive you out of taking the community college placement test.
