Need a New Game Plan for the ACT?

In an email to parents on 3/30 (with other information), PCHS stated "The Utah State Board of Education has canceled all state-level assessments for the year. They are looking at providing ACT vouchers to all Juniors so that they will have the opportunity to take the exams at a later date. Details are to follow in early April."  My interpretation, and recommendation to students, is that they should register for either the June, July or September National ACT.  Preferably June or July since September will likely be the last chance the class of 2021 will have to take the test to be considered for many colleges.

  • Students that prepared for the March test, and are happy with their current scores, should continue to take a practice test each month to stay fresh and avoid scores from slipping. 

  • If students want to continue to improve their scores, we recommend weekly ACT prep sessions over FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom. 

  • If students were planning on taking the test “cold” in March, I strongly recommend they take a practice test as soon as possible.  Then, if unhappy with the results, they will have time to register for one of the ACT workshops starting the week of April 20th  or arrange for private tutoring.

Register for the test at ACT.org. It may take up to 40 minutes to register, so be patient! The regular deadline for the June test is May 8th, and the deadline for July is June 19th.  You can also sign up to have an email reminder of the deadlines.
