ACT Junior District Test

  • Information about Rockwood District’s FREE ACT for Marquette Juniors (Class of 2025)

     

    Overview

    The Rockwood School District provides students the opportunity to take the ACT in the spring of their junior year. This test is an official ACT that can be reported to colleges and universities. This year, juniors will be taking the ACT on April 9, 2024.

    No payment or registration is required for this district-sponsored test. However, students will be asked to complete non-test information prior to their scheduled test. This activity will occur during the school day, in the weeks leading up to the test.

     

    What is the ACT?

    The ACT measures the knowledge, understanding, and skills that students have acquired throughout their education. Questions on the ACT are directly related to what students learn in high school courses.

    The ACT is made up of four curriculum-based, multiple choice tests:

    • English - 75 items, 45 minutes
    • Mathematics - 60 items, 60 minutes
    • Reading - 40 items, 35 minutes
    • Science - 40 items, 35 minutes

     

    Completing Non-Test Information - required for all juniors

    When students take the ACT, they are asked to complete the Non-Test information sections prior to test day. This is done by creating an online MyACT account. Students should allow at least 45 minutes to complete this process. Whether completing the information for the first time, or updating (for those who have already taken the ACT prior to April 9, 2024), this allows examinees to:

    • Link their school test event to the scores and receive scores 11-14 days faster than waiting for scores to be mailed. Examinees with an account are notified by email when scores are available. 
    • Select up to four FREE score recipients (colleges) each time they test
    • Gain opportunities for scholarships they may not be aware of if they choose to participate in ACT’s Educational Opportunity Service
    • Utilize resources for college and career planning

    Students at MHS will complete this process at school.  Completing the MyACT account process requires a unique code assigned to each individual student. Students are scheduled for a specific session (below) and will receive a paper copy of their code at that time.
