The ACT

The ACT is an achievement test that measures a student’s readiness for college.

The ACT State Testing program provides juniors the opportunity to earn college-reportable ACT scores by taking this free test in their own classrooms during the regular school day.  

Siegel High School offers ACT Prep. This one-semester course is designed to improve test scores on the ACT. Students are on a six week rotation for test prep in the four subjects: English and Reading, Math, and Science.
 
ACT Benchmarks

ACT Benchmarks are scores on the ACT subject-area tests that represent the level of achievement required for students to have a 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher or about a 75% chance of obtaining a C or higher in corresponding credit-bearing first-year college courses.

These college courses include English composition, college algebra, introductory social science courses, and biology.

One requirement of graduating from high school with an honors diploma is to meet all 4 ACT Benchmarks.
