The PLAN Test is the practice test for the ACT. This test is not an option for juniors so it is very important to take it during your sophomore year. You can register now in the Counseling and Career Center.
The content of the PLAN test is closely tied to that of the ACT achievement test, which is used for college entrance and placement decisions. It covers the same subjects and gives you estimated ACT scores. This test is only a practice test; therefore, it will not appear on your transcript.
The PLAN test has many benefits. It can help you get started in thinking and planning for life after high school. It will show you areas you may need extra help. The results can also be used to help focus your test preparation to improve your ACT scores. In my opinion, the MOST valuable aspect is that the PLAN test is that it includes a career component that helps identify career interests and possible career fields. The number of students who have no idea what they might want to do some day is scary and this is one way to help come up with some ideas.
It is important to note that this test is being offered during the Late Start Day. This means that you will need to arrive at school at the regularly scheduled time via your own transportation as busses will be following the late start schedule. In addition to the late start time, you will miss the first few classes of the late-start day.
