Who should take it?
Generally, all TSAS graduates take the ACT at least twice: once as a junior in the spring, once as a senior in the fall. If you are concerned about how you might do, take it earlier.
All TSAS juniors will take the ACT at TSAS at no cost spring 2018. No need to sign up, just look out for announcements as we get closer to the date.
How do I sign up?
Go to website and click “Register Now.” If you qualify for free or reduced lunch, see Stallings for a fee waiver.

How do I prepare?
Know what’s on the test: visit website for a full description of the sections tested. ACT offers an absurd number of study guides on their website, but these are recommended only after taking the exam once. Establish a baseline, then tools to improve it.
