PSAT / Pre-ACT
10th grade students take the Pre-ACT in October. The Pre-ACT is required by the NCDPI, so does not require a fee. This test assesses similar academic strengths as well as student interests for college and career planning.
All 11th grade students are required by NC law to take the ACT in March.
