    ACT testing update for Class of 2025

    Students who would like to take an ACT test at their own cost, on one of the national Saturday testing dates (see below). Students who need support with costs for this assessment may apply for a waiver through their high school. Contact your counselor to get a waiver.

    It’s important to note that many colleges and universities may no longer require a standardized assessment score as part of their admissions process this fall. Students should contact their post-secondary institutions of interest for specific modifications to the admission requirements. 
     
    ACT Information
     
    Do you have your ACT scores? Some facts about ACT scores: 
     
     
    **Community colleges, technical colleges, and private vocational schools generally DON’T require students to take the ACT or SAT.  They, however, often require their own placement tests as part of their application.  Sometimes they can use your ACT scores in place of their placement tests.
     
     
    **Four year colleges look at ACT scores as part of their admission criteria.  If you are intending to apply to a 4 year college, you will want to research the institution's requirements or standards for test scores to see if you meet the requirements with your score.  Many students who are planning to attend four year colleges will take the ACT more than once. The upcoming dates and deadlines to apply are below.  
     
     
    **To register for the ACT: If students wish to take the test again, they need to register at www.actstudent.org. Students will register to take at a specific location and will be charged a fee. See your counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver. The Coon Rapids High School Code is: 240537
