Junior ACT March 2- Important Information to Complete PRIOR to testing

All in-person students need to stop by the counseling office prior to March 2 to pick up their individualized copy of NON-TEST INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS. Prior to testing you will need to create, merge, or confirm your new MYACT account in order to receive your scores. Generic instructions can be found here: https://www.act.org/content/dam/act/secured/documents/pdfs/MyACT-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf ALL JUNIORS have a specialized code that is available on the NON-TEST INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS. IN PERSON students should pick up their instructions with their personalized code in the counseling office. Fully remote students can text Dr. Shaw on Remind to get a copy.

Thanks!

Dr. Shaw
