Attention Freshmen, Sophomores, and Parents/Guardians:

 

Next Tuesday, March 2, all freshmen and sophomores will have the opportunity to take a free Practice ACT! We are excited to provide this opportunity in an attempt to prepare all students for post-secondary success.

 

The practice ACT covers the same content as the ACT that is given during the junior year. While the ACT is a junior-level exam, students do benefit from doing a practice test. One of the greatest benefits is that students get first-hand knowledge about what types of questions will be asked and gain a familiarity with the general format of this high stakes exam. The score reports from the practice exam will give students valuable information that can assist with course planning, in addition to identifying current academic strengths and weaknesses.

 

Logistics:

• Freshmen and Sophomores will take this test from home, using their iPad or another device.
• Students do not need to pre-register for this opportunity.  
• Students will be emailed an access code for the practice ACT on March 1. 
• The access code will allow testing from 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on March 2 only.
• Participation in this practice ACT is optional, but highly encouraged.
• Note that students may not submit their practice ACT score to colleges for admission purposes and scores will not be entered into Skyward. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Kathy Leuthner, Wayzata High School testing secretary, at Kathy.Leuthner@wayzataschools.org or 763-745-6705.

 

Sincerely,

 

Wayzata High School
