ACT & SAT · College entrance exams
The ACT is a college entrance examination that is just one measure of how ready a student is for college. All Utah Public Colleges and Universities accept the ACT. Here are some things that you may want to know about the ACT:
The ACT is an 11th grade test. This means that you may not yet have learned the material that you will see on the test.
Most students take the ACT for the first time during their 10th or 11th grade year. It can be helpful to start preparing in junior high.
KJH offers a practice test for 9th grade students, usually during 3rd term.
Free ACT Prep Options: Shmoop (see image for instructions, the 2024–2025 magic word is TOPAZ), ACT Academy, and March2Success.

The SAT is also a college entrance examination. The ACT and SAT are both recognized by most colleges. It is typically not necessary to take both. Be sure to check with the colleges you are interested in attending to ensure you understand the admissions requirements. Most students in Davis School District choose to take the ACT, but not the SAT.
