<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A few things to please remember when ordering:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> * Please order only for the number of sophomores that you have, ACT will calculate an overage so you do not need to order extra<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> * You will need to know if/how many students need a read aloud accommodation, a Braille accommodation, a human reader accommodation (Reader’s Script) or <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> * When ordering do not use a PO Box for address, use a physical address, FedEx does not deliver to PO Boxes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> * Do not choose priority or overnight shipping, those incur an additional charge<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> * Be sure to click "…Terms and Conditions…" and "Place Order" at the end of ordering<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Remember, open your box when it arrives to do a quick inventory so you don’t have any surprises on the day of pre-administration or testing. New this year – we understand that
the answer documents will be shipped separately from the rest of the material. You will use the box the answer documents came in to return the answer documents to ACT to be scored (no more polymailers). Please be sure to take a picture of your tracking number
before you send the answer documents back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The PreACT offers a wealth of information which begins with the pre-administration section and continues with the assessment. This information helps guide your students, parents,
and staff to prepare students for college readiness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
