Research shows that today and in the future good jobs will require a greater level of knowledge and skills after high school. ACT® Aspire® can help all your learners measure their progress toward the readiness they will need for future success, whether they transition to college or career. ACT Aspire is the first digital, longitudinal assessment system to fully connect the student performance with readiness benchmarks from the elementary grades through early high school.
The ACT Aspire Assessment System® is a vertically scaled, standards–based system of assessments that monitors student growth and progress toward college and career readiness, anchored on the ACT®.

ACT Aspire also provides additional measures of student success not found elsewhere, including:
