ACT Information

The ACT is typically required when applying to a 4-year college or university.  The ACT measures the knowledge, understanding, and skills that you have acquired throughout your education. Therefore, the best preparation for the test is successful completion of rigorous college preparatory courses. We encourage students to start taking the ACT during Junior Year.  For more information on testing dates, times and locations, please visit www.actstudent.org.

ALL Juniors will take the ACT in February/March per state of Wisconsin statue. This test is offered during the school day and is a college reportable score. All test registration will occur at school.
