Since 2007, students in 47 states have  \nearned college-reportable scores taking the ACT in their own classrooms through ACT State and District Testing.  \nParticipating in ACT District Testing provides your students with the opportunity to assess their academic skills and level of college readiness in a familiar environment. Having all students participate raises every student’s college readiness, awareness and exposure, rather than only students who already have plans to attend college. For some students, the experience may help them realize they have the skills to perform college-level coursework.  \n*The ACT is the \\#1 taken college admissions test in of U. S. states (based on 2024 graduating class) .  \nnearly  \nhalf  \n[act.org/district-testing](act.org/district-testing)     \nThere are many benefits to ACT District Testing, Including:  \nBenefits To Your District: Benefits to Students:  \n• Establish baseline data on student performance and college readiness.  \n• Provide students who are English learners the ability to accurately reflect what they have learned in school.  \n• Reduce stress levels by providing a familiar testing environment on a regular school day.  \n• Grant an opportunity to demonstrate what they’ve learned in their high school courses.  \n• Use data to make informed curriculum decisions and intervention strategies and to advise students.  \n• Rely on 60 years of research aligned to ACT College and Career Readiness Standards.  \n• Decide whether to offer writing and/or science* based on your students’ needs. (* Beginning spring 2026.)  \n• Starting in spring 2026, while English, math, and reading must be completed in one sitting, flexible ACT testing policies allow breaks before science and/ or writing, helping students recharge and perform their best.  \n• Eliminate potential transportation concerns for traveling to a test site on the weekend.  \n• Contribute personalized information to explore future college and career decisions based on their strengths, challenges, and interests.  \n• Use their scores to apply for financial aid and scholarships.  \n• Get matched to colleges and scholarship opportunities through ACT Recruit Me.  \nBefore the ACT, different methods to foster student growth and readiness for college were just shots in the dark.  \nGreg Upham Assistant Superintendent  \nHelena Public School District Montana  \nReady to Get Started?  \nChoose Your Test Date Option(s)  \nACT offers four test date options—one testing window in the fall and three testing windows in  \nthe spring.**  \n**Your district may participate in both fall and one spring ACT test date or choose to participate in only fall or only one spring test date.  \nSelect Test Options  \nTwo test options are available with paper or online delivery—the ACT or  \nthe ACT with wri","cbCaidiBW48YiQwh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidiBW48YiQwh","pdf",2927846,"English","# Benefits To Your District\n# Benefits To Students\n# Choose Your Test Date Option(s)\n# Select Test Options\n# Contact Your ACT Account Manager","[{\"question\":\"What is ACT District Testing and what does it aim to improve?\",\"answer\":\"ACT District Testing provides an “official” test administration in schools during regular weekday hours.
