Abstract | This brief summarizes five benefits of schools providing the PreACT® to all their students. The PreACT 8/9 (an earlier version of the PreACT test that is more appropriate for students in grades 8 and 9) and PreACT assessments are designed to provide students with an indication of their educational progress in the context of preparing for the ACT® and exploring postsecondary educational and career options. The PreACT assessments include four multiple-choice tests: English, math, reading, and science. The five benefits of adopting the PreACT discussed in this brief include: (1) PreACT scores are accurate predictors of ACT test scores; (2) PreACT ensures equitable access to practice for the ACT test; (3) Adopting the PreACT can improve readiness for college and careers; (4) PreACT scores identify students who are ready to succeed in advanced high school courses--including AP; and (5) PreACT scores provide a baseline for measuring growth and improvement.
