ACT Non-College Reportable Exam – 12th Grade ONLY
This test is for 12th grade students who have not met the FSA Grade 10 ELA and/or the Algebra 1 EOC graduation requirement. Students who participate in this ACT-NCR experience will be granted accommodations (i.e., extended time) in hopes that the extra time will give the student a better chance to acquire the necessary ACT English and Reading score of 17.5 to meet the FSA Grade 10 ELA graduation requirement and/or ACT Math score of 16 to meet the Algebra 1 EOC graduation requirement. However, because these accommodations are not officially approved by College Board, results earned during a non-college reportable ACT administration cannot be used for admissions or scholarship purposes.
The ACT will be offered at Nease on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 to 12th Graders ONLY. The cost of the ACT exam is $37.00. Payment can be made via this link in School Pay. Payment is due by Wednesday, February 15, 2023.

However, because these accommodations are not officially approved by College Board, results earned during a non-college reportable SAT administration cannot be used for admissions or scholarship purposes.
