ACT TESTING AT JHS
ACT testing at JHS will take place on Tuesday, February 13, 2021 for all juniors.- Reminder, the ACT test is not a requirement. Most technical schools and community colleges do NOT require the ACT test. Moreover, some 4-year schools also do not require the ACT. Look at the requirements for schools YOU are interested in attending to determine if you need to take the ACT test.

ACT Website
All JHS Juniors are offered the ACT test to be taken at school. If you are not satisfied with your score, you can retake the test (at your cost). To learn more about this option, visit the ACT.org website for testing dates and locations. It is recommended to take college placement testing for the first time towards the end of your Junior year and to also take the writing portion the first time you take the test.ACT Scores
JHS Juniors that take the test through the school will receive their test scores in the mail. When available, your scores are posted online and accessed using your secure ACT web account. In addition to the four institutions you selected upon registering, you can send your scores to others, even after you test. Requests are processed after all scores for your test option—the ACT or the ACT with writing—are ready.Additional Links
