[cid:image001.png at 01DC0610.07F2FA80] Ordering Instructions * Order Quantity: Please only order for the number of sophomores you have. ACT will calculate an overage, so you do not need to order extra. * Accommodations: Please determine if any students require accommodations such as read-aloud, Braille, human reader (Reader's Script), or large print. * Shipping Address: Ensure you use a physical address, not a PO Box, as FedEx does not deliver to PO Boxes. * Shipping Options: Do not select priority or overnight shipping. * Order Confirmation: Please click both "Terms and Conditions" and "Place Order" at the end of the process. You will receive a confirmation number and a confirmation email-these are two separate items. Additional Details * For Public and Private Schools: The PreACT under the OSRHE contract is available for all public and private schools in Oklahoma. * Separate Orders for PreACT 8/9: If your district is ordering and paying for the 8/9 PreACT, you will no longer order that on the same website. Please reach out to Tabitha Zurovetz at tabitha.zurovetz at act.org for more information. Post-Order Tips * Inventory Check: When your order arrives, promptly open the box to perform a quick inventory check. Answer documents are shipped separately; do not discard the answer document box. You will use it to return the documents to ACT for scoring. * Track Returns: Before sending the answer documents back, take a picture of your tracking number.

The Oklahoma Legislature passed House Bill 1727, which introduces a new teacher eligibility track to the Oklahoma's Promise program. This new track allows children of certified classroom teachers to qualify for Oklahoma's Promise at a higher income level than the traditional financial eligibility requirements of the program. We've received many questions about this change, and to help address them, we've created a FAQ page on our website. While the FAQ may not cover every unique situation, it reflects the most common questions we've received over the past month. We hope it serves as a helpful resource for you and the families you support. Please note: the 2025-2026 Oklahoma's Promise application is not yet available. We are in final stages of editing it to reflect the new requirements. It will be released as quickly as possible and will be available in the Fall 2025 semester. You can find the HB 1727 FAQ and other general information about Oklahoma's Promise at okpromise.org. Thank you for your continued support of Oklahoma students and families.
