Benefits of taking the PreACT:

The PreACT is a great practice opportunity for future national and state ACT testing experiences. This is very important for the school administered ACT in the spring of students’ Junior year.
PreACT data will be used to help determine coursework readiness and recommendations. Students should put forth their best efforts on the exam to maximize future academic opportunities.
