ACT Test Info

All Seniors and Juniors will sign up to register for ACTs. Seniors taking ACTs for the first time or re-taking are prioritized for fall testing. However, juniors can sign up for fall testing and will be scheduled based on room availability.

The district covers the first time a student takes the ACTs.

Students retaking the ACT's will pay $68 per retake.

The ACTs

The full American College Test (ACT) consists of four multiple-choice sections—in English, mathematics, reading, and science—with an optional writing section. As required by MDE, RHS students will complete the ACTs with writing.

ACTs are administered online through the TestNav app, similar to state testing.

Quick visual to review ACT authorized accommodations.

*Designated Supports must be requested and authorized prior to use on Test Day. 

Consent to Release Information to ACT

This typically applies to students who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that has related accommodations and modifications in their plan and for students who have a 504 Plan that lists related accommodations that are provided during ACT testing.  

Students who have a disability but are not on a 504 or IEP may be eligible. Documentation must be provided to the school district in order to submit for ACT approval prior to testing.  The documents are usually required no later than approximately 8 weeks before the scheduled testing date. 

Requesting English Learner Supports

If you are a student who currently receives English Language Learning (ELL) or English Second Language (ESL) services with teacher, Carrie Engen, you may be eligible for supports in your native language during ACT testing.
