PLAN (Pre-ACT Test)
PLAN - the ACT college readiness test -
was given to 10th graders at Watertown High School during the April testing
period.
PLAN is a great way to prepare for the ACT test.
It covers the same subjects and gives an estimated ACT score. PLAN also lets you
know if you're on track for college. It points out your academic strengths and
areas you need to improve. It also helps you find careers that match your
interest and connects you with more colleges that are interested in you.
Students who take PLAN typically score higher on the ACT than those who do not.
Learn more about PLAN at www.planstudent.org
Students who are on free or
reduced school lunches qualify for a fee waiver and should pick up that form in
Student Services.
Results/interpretation sessions will be announced
after the test results are returned.
