Practice ACT is a HUGE Success!

Students work diligently on the practice ACT. 
On Thursday, February 15, 11th grade students participated in a full-scale practice ACT. Students gathered in the cafeteria and completed each multiple choice section according to the standard time limit. Learning appropriate pacing for each section is imperative for ACT success. Students even had the opportunity to plan and organize an essay to practice the writing portion of the ACT. Testing wrapped up just in time for lunch. 
Students listen intently as ACT tips are shared. 
Students returned to the auditorium for pre-coding. Each student completed an interest inventory and student profile on his/her actual ACT answer sheet. Important tips and reminders were shared with students in preparation of the Tuesday, February 27 administration. Students learned how to find their practice test raw scores in SchoolNet and used the table pictured below to convert their raw scores to ACT scale scores.
