NCAA Waives ACT Scores
The ACT
The ACT (American College Test) college admittance exam is open for registration. In my opinion, it will be tricky since we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Please be patient with them and us. For example, even though the ACT is being offered starting September 12th, Sparkman High School (SHS) will not host that event. In fact, the ACT will not be administered on the SHS campus until December, perhaps.
To register, click the link: https://my.act.org/account/signin?location=https://my.act.org.
The test dates they have listed are as follows:
Sunday, September 13
Saturday, September 19
Saturday, October 10
Saturday, October 17
Saturday, October 24
Sunday, October 25
