All Ray-Pec High School students will be participating in our annual College and Career Readiness Day on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024.
Practice ACT (Sophomores and Juniors)
Sophomores and Juniors will be administered a practice ACT test, free of charge. This test is an opportunity for students to be able to practice in a testing environment, akin to an official ACT test. Students do not need to register for the practice ACT test. This practice test will provide students with a better understanding of their foundational skills, as well as strengths and weaknesses. The official ACT is a college admissions test, which is also utilized for scholarship determinations, and the A+ scholarship program. Testing will occur from 7:25 to 11:40 a.m.
Post Secondary Planning (Seniors)
Seniors will have several testing and post secondary options to choose from, such as college visits, Accuplacer and ASVAB testing, etc. More information and sign ups to come.
PSAT (open to Sophomores and Juniors - registration required)
Sophomores and juniors will have the opportunity to sign up to take the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The National Merit Scholarship is open only to Juniors (therefore, for sophomores, it is a practice). If students elect this option, they must register and pay a testing fee of $20. Here is a link to more information regarding PSAT and National Merit: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt. Please be aware that there are a limited number of PSAT Tests available and students will be registered on a first come, first serve basis. Testing will occur from 7:25 to 11:40 a.m.
If a student elects to take the PSAT/NMSQT, students must register and pay online: www.TotalRegistration.net/PSAT/262580, starting Sept. 9.
