Test Preparation

ACT: The ACT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The purpose of the ACT test is to measure a high school student’s readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. All Utah High School Students will have the opportunity to take the ACT for free the spring of their 11th grade year. The test will be administered at school, during the school day. The test can be taken again, for a fee. Register at act.org.
