Planning+For+ACT+Assignment

**Planning for the ACT - Please complete this assignment for a participation grade.**
Instructions: The purpose of this assignment is to prepare to take the ACT. Please complete the survey [|here] for a participation grade to answer the following questions.

Have you already taken the ACT? If you have taken the ACT, what is your highest composite score? Please also list your subject scores (English, math, reading, science). You may access your ACT scores [|here].

When do you plan to take the ACT next time? You can view the test dates for the ACT [|here]. Be sure to click on the "2011-2012" tab if you plan to take the ACT next school year. What is the registration deadline for that test date to avoid paying a late fee? You may be eligible for a fee waiver if you participate in the free or reduced-price lunch program at school. Please speak to your counselor about getting a fee waiver for the ACT.

You can view some sample ACT questions [|here]. I recommend that you get the book, __Cracking the ACT, 2011 Edition__, by Princeton Review, to prepare for the ACT. This book is available at Barnes & Noble for $19.99 or at [|Amazon] for $11.57 plus shipping. You should study the chapters on each subject area (English, math, reading, science) and take at least two timed practice tests to prepare.
