Juniors,
the ACT is in two weeks on Tuesday, March 18. Take advantage of this opportunity
because the school is providing you with a chance to take a college entrance
exam that can be used on college applications, and it’s FREE.

The
ACT consists of reading, writing, math, and science sections. In preparation,
take online practice tests and review basic math and science concepts. If there
is a particular topic you struggle with most, focus on that section while
taking practice exams. However, do not stress. Some people prefer the SAT over
the ACT, so take this opportunity to find out which test better suits you.
There
will be 15 minute breaks between testing sections, so bring snacks because the
testing session will last at least three hours.
Some
test day tips are to eat a wholesome breakfast, drink a little caffeinated tea,
and eat a piece of chocolate before the exam. This will help you focus and give
you energy to stay awake through the test.
Remember
to bring #2 pencils, your school ID, and a calculator, but do not bring your
phone. If it goes off during the test, the test will not count for everyone in
the session.
