ABOUT THE EXAMS

ALL 11th-grade students will be able to take one of the following post-secondary exams FREE:

ACT: The ACT contains four multiple-choice tests—English, mathematics, reading, and science. These tests are designed to measure skills that are most important for success in postsecondary education and that are acquired in secondary education. This exam is accepted by all US colleges and universities.

ASVAB: The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is a multiple-aptitude battery that tests a student’s knowledge in eight areas including: general science, mathematics, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, electronics information, auto and shop information, and mechanical comprehension. The ASVAB is the most widely used multiple-aptitude test battery in the world, including use by the US armed forces.

NOTE: Test accommodations may be available for students based on an IEP or 504 plan. In January, school staff will reach out to students who may qualify for accommodations to discuss those options.
