ACT District Testing: Equity and Opportunity: How and Why to Offer the ACT Test at Your Own School this Spring.
- Original air date 01.14.21: Video, Handout-1, Handout-2

The ACT® test, a curriculum-based educational and career planning tool, is the leading college readiness assessment in the United States. As the capstone of college and career readiness solutions, the ACT is based on what students learn in high school. Did you know that your school can offer an “official” test administration of the ACT during regular school hours on a weekday? Since 2007, students in more than 47 states have earned college-reportable scores taking the ACT in their own classrooms in a familiar and safe environment that removes the influence of taking the ACT at a location unfamiliar to them and with proctors the students do not know.

Participating in ACT District 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.

Provide students who are English Learners the ability to accurately reflect what they have learned in school
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
