Together, We Can Make Students Unstoppable
Like you, we’re dedicated to the success of every student—today, tomorrow, and well into the future. ACT® District Testing helps your students take that important next step toward college and career by providing broad access to the ACT.
Help Students Stand Out From the Crowd
ACT District Testing scores can help students stand out in a crowded field of applicants with similar high school grades. The valuable resources that come with ACT District Testing let you give all your students the chance to show colleges they’re ready.
Free Score Reports
Eligible students can take the ACT and receive eight score reports to send to colleges for free!
Plan for the Future
ACT District Testing scores do more than get students into college. Results include a college and career planning section that directs students toward the best path to success.
Pay for College
Students with an ACT score qualify for more scholarships because many colleges require scores for merit-based awards. Without one, students could miss out on thousands of dollars.
Get a Superscore
When students take the ACT more than once, we can average their best section scores for an official ACT Superscore.
College and Financial Aid Planning Resources — Everything Your Students Need, All in One Place!
Your students have access to a faster, smarter, more streamlined way to identify financial aid and scholarship resources with Going Merry by Earnest! As an official strategic partner of ACT, Going Merry empowers students to easily access personalized, integrated resources to get matched to scholarships, apply for financial aid, compare colleges and costs, and stay on track through the application process — removing barriers to achieving their future goals.
The Path to College and Career Success Starts Early
Success doesn’t happen in a year. It happens year after year. That’s why ACT offers a continuum of sequential assessments that prepares your students for a lifetime of success—in college and beyond. The tests in the ACT Assessment System have a common score scale, making it easy to track performance across tests, measure growth, and identify areas where students need work.
