PreACT

  • Starting in the 2024-25 school year, the Illinois School Board of Education (ISBE) required all school districts to administer the PreACT Secure 9 and PreACT Secure to all freshmen AND sophomores on a designated day in April. They have these benefits in common:

    • They are great practice for the ACT because they test the same skills and knowledge as the ACT—in a way which makes sense for a given grade level.

    • The ACT and PreACT tests measure the same skills and knowledge in grade-appropriate ways.

     
    The PreACT tests are highly relevant to students’ future success because they focus on the skills and knowledge at the heart of education. According to ACT, Inc. the PreACT assessments measure the skills and knowledge that research shows are the most important for success in college and career. They measure:

    • What students learn in high school

    • What students need to succeed in college

     

    PreACT Score Reports

    ACT does not provide online access to PreACT or PreACT 9 score reports. ETHS sends results to students via U.S. mail by the end of May.
