Good morning,

I hope that you had a restful and relaxing fall break and you made it through giving the ACT tests! 😊 I thought I would share some information, hang in there it’s a lot!😊

Reminder, we, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE), are paying for your 10th graders to take the PreACT.
The last day to order PreACT tests is October 29 (that is coming soon!) The testing window for the PreACT will end November 19!
Please do not hesitate to contact myself, lnelson at osrhe.edu<mailto:lnelson at osrhe.edu>, 405.225.9257, or Annette Long, along at osrhe.edu<mailto:along at osrhe.edu>, 405.225.9156, if you need help with ordering or if you have questions regarding the PreACT.
Oklahoma’s webpage regarding PreACT and ACT testing information: https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/state-and-district-solutions/oklahoma.html

PreACT:

  *   Every bubble the student completes comes back to your school in a report.
  *   Complete the pre-administration portion the day before the test, (students will need their transcripts), tell every student to mark the “need help with postsecondary plans” (you’ll receive a report with all students’ scores)
  *   The pre-administration portion does not require a parent’s signature like the ACT.
  *   When you pack up the students’ answer documents, write down or take a picture of the tracking number that is on the white polymailer.
  *   Do not throw the test booklets away, share with your teachers!
  *   Remember Annette or I will present to your staff regarding your school’s PreACT data and to the students/parents regarding their score reports.
  *   10th grade PreACT: Last day to order is October 29; last day to test is November 19. We will walk you through ordering.
