Students who are interested in attending a post-secondary institution are encouraged to register and take the ACT (American College Test).  The ACT is required for some 4-year schools for admissions.  Scores are also used for course placement at colleges, and is factored into many merit based scholarships.  Juniors are encouraged to take the ACT during the April and June test dates, and Seniors during the October and December exam dates, to receive test scores prior to collegiate admissions and scholarship deadlines.  Colleges use a student's ACT and GPA in determining an admissions index score, used for both admissions criteria and many merit based scholarships.
