Student Assessment -
The ACT test assesses students general academic development and predicts their readiness for college.
In North Dakota, the state does provide funding to schools so that all high school juniors can take either the ACT or WorkKeys Skills test.
This testing occurs in April of each year during a regular school day. Students have the option to take the ACT one or more additional times during their junior and senior years during scheduled ACT testing dates.
Students should contact their high school counseling department for additional information.
The ACT website is located at www.act.org

Students in grades K-1 are assessed with MAP Primary Goals Survey, which established a baseline RIT score in kindergarten.
Students receiving special services may also take MAP Primary in place of regular MAP in grades 2-12.
