🚀 PreACT Testing for Class of 2028

On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, sophomores at Rogers High School will have the opportunity to take the PreACT assessment.

  • This is the same date that all juniors will be taking the official ACT test.
  • Only 10th & 11th grade students will be in the building that day.
  • 9th & 12th grade students will participate in distance learning on March 24.

About the PreACT

The PreACT is an online practice version of the ACT college entrance exam. It provides an early measure of academic development and college and career readiness. PreACT scores are for feedback only and will not appear on transcripts or be shared with colleges.

  • Cost: The PreACT is being piloted this year for the first time at no cost to all sophomores.
  • Registration: Sophomores will be automatically registered by the school unless they choose to opt out.
  • Format: The PreACT simulates the ACT testing experience and covers the same four subject areas: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science.
  • Length: The total test time is approximately 210 minutes (3.5 hours), including time for pre-administration activities.

Important Notes

  • Accommodations: Because this is an optional/practice exam, there will not be an option for testing accommodations.
  • Makeup Date: There is no makeup date available through RHS/ISD 728.

Why Take the PreACT? 💡

Taking the PreACT offers numerous advantages for post-graduation planning:

  1. Early Practice for the ACT: The PreACT uses ACT test-quality questions and an identical 1-36 score scale. This provides essential practice for the mandatory ACT all juniors will take. (Research shows that taking the ACT more than once often leads to a higher composite score.)
  2. Predicted Score & College Readiness: Students receive an estimated ACT score range, offering a clear indicator of their current college readiness.
  3. Identify Strengths and Weaknesses: Results provide actionable insights for students, parents, and educators. This information can be used to target specific areas for improvement, inform high school course selections, and guide academic planning. 
  4. College and Career Exploration: The report includes results from the ACT Interest Inventory, giving personalized career suggestions and showing how student interests align with various college majors and career paths.
  5. Educational Opportunity Service (Optional): Students have the option to share their information with colleges and scholarship agencies for greater exposure to recruitment and scholarship possibilities.
