• PreACT scores range from 1–35.

• PreACT 8/9 scores range from 1–30.

• Students will receive their complete testing booklet, which includes all missed questions and the correct answers. This information can be used to identify areas for improvement and assist with future test preparation.

If you have any questions regarding your student's scores, please contact the Counseling Office.
