ACT Test (Taken Junior or Senior year)

  • The most frequently taken test in the Midwest. The ACT is also accepted by most Western colleges and is gaining greater acceptance among East Coast schools.
     
  • The test includes four sections: English, Math, Reading Comprehension, and Science. It is more curriculum based than the SAT.  The writing section is optional.
     
  • The score range is 1-36, and the average score in Missouri is just over 21.
  •  The University of Missouri requires a 25.
     
  • Students who earn a 31 or higher receive a $2000 / year Bright Flight Scholarship to any school in Missouri.
     
  • Students also receive other scholarships for high scores including the
    Mizzou Excellence Scholarship:  $2000/yr for 27+ & top 25% of class
     
  • The higher the ACT score, the larger the scholarship.

  • Students with IEP's or 504 Plans may take extended-time tests.  Check with your school counselor about which tests will allow extended time.
 

 

 

WRITING SECTION

The ACT test has added a new section, the writing section, which consists of one essay that is graded separately from a student's composite score. 

This year we will be holding an optional $75 writing session for all students interested in improving and/or practicing ACT essay writing. 

The dates of these optional sessions are listed below with the class you choose to sign up for.


 You may also call 573-875-5187 for information and to enroll.  Our students raise their scores by 2-6 points.  Individual tutoring is also available.
