<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Good morning, I have been on the list serve, but have not been the actual school counselor until this year. I was wondering if you could assist me in ordering Pre-ACT for my Sophomores.
Do I need a special access code to order on the ACT website? I'm not very familiar with the ordering process.<o:p></o:p></p>
