Here’s one way to make your next step easier. On [DAY, DATE], you can take the ACT® test for free, right here at school. All you have to do is let [COUNSELOR NAME] know by [DEADLINE].\nWhy take the ACT?\nYour ACT score shows colleges what you’ve learned and makes your college application stand out from the crowd.\nA strong score can open doors to scholarships you’d miss otherwise.\nThe [states/district/school] is covering the cost, so this one is free.\nAnd yes, you get a break from class!\nYou’ve put in the work. Give yourself a chance to show it. Sign up today.\nSincerely,\n[SIGNATURE]\nText for parents:\nDear Parents and Caregivers,\nOn [DAY], [DATE], your student will take the ACT® test in school. It’s a chance for them to see how ready they are for what comes next — whether that’s college, the workforce, or both.\nBefore test day, your student will be given directions to set up a MyACT account as part of their experience. Please encourage them to answer every question, including choosing up to four colleges to send their scores for free.\nWhen registering for the ACT, your student can also opt in to ACT® Recruit Me. Here's what that opens up for them:\nGet matched with colleges. Colleges use students’ interests, majors, career goals, and MyACT profile information to connect with students, sending personalized information on programs and opportunities — and even flagging academic areas to strengthen.\nGet connected to real scholarship opportunities. Scholarship organizations and financial aid programs can reach out based on students’ qualifications and interests, helping them discover more ways to pay for college.\nSimplify the admissions process. As soon as students’ ACT College Report arrives, colleges can start building their admission records using their ACT data — for a faster, more personalized application experience.\nACT Recruit Me is completely FREE and only available when students register for the ACT. In fact, more than 95% of recent graduating seniors who opted in had their names selected by at least one college, and a typical senior receives interest from an average of 20 colleges and/or scholarship programs.\nWe want your student to feel ready on test day. Here’s what to remind them before [insert day of week]:\nBring two sharpened No. 2 pencils with good erasers and an ACT-approved calculator (see link below for details).\nGet plenty of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, wear comfortable clothes.\nNo cell phones or smart watches.\nIt’s worth reminding your child why taking the ACT matters: it can help them get into college, point them toward careers they might enjoy, and opens doors to scholarship and financial aid.\nGo to the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.act.org/content/act/en/students-and-parents/college-planning-articles.html\" \\h \u0014ACT College and Career Planning page\u0015 for more tips.
