State-Funded ACT Tests
Submit your selection of ACT or SAT for graduation pathway
from Aug. 16 to Sept. 15
On Aug. 16, districts will receive a survey link to indicate the decision to administer either the ACT or SAT to the class of 2019 as your state-funded college and career readiness test for the 2017-2018 school year. Your district must confirm that it will give the same test it gave in spring 2017 or make a different choice for this school year. Learn more here.
State law requires districts and community schools to administer the state-funded ACT or SAT to all grade 11 students in the spring of the school year. Each year, districts and schools will select the test to administer to their juniors.
As part of their state testing programs, ACT has provided the test dates for the 2018 administration of the state-funded tests*. Districts and schools can use all standard time paper testing windows, as well as the online window, to administer all standard time ACT tests. Districts and schools will receive further instructions regarding the district test selection process for the spring 2018 state-sponsored testing this summer.
