ACT School Day Testing
Administration Resources

Participating in ACT School Day testing (on-campus testing) provides your students with the opportunity to assess their academic skills and level of college readiness in a familiar environment. Having all students participate raises college awareness and exposure among all students, rather than only self-selected, college-bound students. For some students, the experience may help them realize they have the skills to perform college-level coursework.

BENEFITS TO YOUR SCHOOL:

Establish baseline information on student performance
Receive information on all of your students’ academic achievement and college readiness levels to establish a baseline for future comparison
Use data to make informed curriculum decisions and intervention strategies, and to advise students
Based on 60 years of research and aligned to ACT College and Career Readiness Standards

BENEFITS TO STUDENTS:

Feel less stress testing in a familiar environment on a regular school day
The ACT is accepted by all four-year colleges and universities in the United States
Tested on what they’ve learned in their high school core courses
Eliminate potential concerns about finding transportation to a test center on the weekend
Receive personalized information to explore future college and career decisions based on their strengths, weaknesses, and interests
