Option 2: Free voucher to take the ACT on Saturday, April 4, 2020 or Saturday, June 13, 2020.
The College and Career Readiness and College Completion Act (CCRCCA) of 2013 requires that all students take a Maryland State Department of Education approved college readiness assessment by the end of Grade 11.
Therefore, students will have a choice to either take a FREE SAT School Day at Quince Orchard High School on Wednesday, March 25, 2020 OR receive a FREE voucher to take the ACT during the national test administrations on Saturday, April 4, 2020 or Saturday, June 13, 2020 at a local high school. Students are highly encouraged to take advantage of ONE of these two options.
RULES and ELIGIBILITY:
- Only JUNIORS or students in their third year of high school are eligible for these opportunities. Student grade level and eligibility will be verified.
- All JUNIORS will automatically be included in the College Board bulk registration for the SAT School Day; however, only those students who register via this Google Form will be able to participate on March 25, 2020.
