On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, as required by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), OPRFHS will administer the PreACT 9 Secure to freshmen, the PreACT Secure to sophomores, and the School Day ACT with Writing to juniors. These assessments will be administered in an online format. Students are required to bring their fully charged Chromebooks for testing on April 8.
As the testing app, TestNav, has already been uploaded onto all school-issued student Chromebooks, students can familiarize themselves with the exam tools (highlighter, calculator, etc.) as well as take a practice exam here:
The ACT with Writing (juniors)
PreACT Secure (freshmen and sophomores)
Completion of the ISBE ACT School Day with Writing is a graduation requirement for all students, except those whose IEP allows for alternative testing. Seniors who did not take the School Day SAT during their junior year are required to test and are being notified.
Please note that taking a National ACT on a Saturday does not count towards this ISBE graduation requirement. As this is an ISBE-required School Day test, students are automatically registered through our school.
The standard administration (without accommodations) of the assessments identified above will take approximately four and a half hours. Students will be dismissed upon completing their exam. Completion times will vary based on accommodations and the specific assessment taken.
Tuesday, April 8, 2025, is a non-attendance day for seniors.
Students are encouraged to create a MyACT account at myact.org if they haven't already. This account allows them to prepare for the test, view and send scores, explore colleges and careers, and plan for college. Additional details on account setup, access, accommodations, practice, and test day room assignments will be shared closer to the test dates.
Sincerely,
Ms. Jennifer Brinkman, Director of Student Learning
Dr. Lesley Roberts, Assistant Director of Special Education
