MUSKEGO HIGH SCHOOL - ACT PREPARATION RESOURCES 2018/19 ACT Preparation Resources
MUSKEGO HIGH SCHOOL - ACT PREPARATION RESOURCES 2018/19
All Muskego High School juniors will take the ACT Plus Writing on Wednesday, February 20, 2019. This test will be administered during the school day and will be used for college admission. Students may register to take the ACT on other national test dates and colleges will use the student’s best score for admission purposes. Students can register at www.actstudent.org.
The ACT measures the knowledge, understanding, and skills that you have acquired throughout your education. Therefore the best preparation for the test is successful completion of rigorous college preparatory courses at Muskego High School. This includes a minimum of 3 or more years of math, science, social studies, and 4 years of English. Four years of math, science, and social studies is highly recommended.
ACT Preparation courses/programs may increase your performance on the ACT Test. You should investigate these and other opportunities to learn what option will best meet your needs. An excellent place to start is visiting www.actstudent.org for practice questions and tips.
On Tuesday, October 24th, all junior students will participate in a practice ACT test. Following the practice ACT test, a letter will be sent home with the test results and information about several opportunities to continue to prepare to take the ACT again in the future.
