ACT
The ACT is a standardized assessment covering four academic areas: English, reading, scientific reasoning and mathematics. It is used by many colleges and universities as part of the admissions process.
Hoffman Estates High School offers ACT exam prep sessions during the fall and spring semesters to help students prepare for taking the exam. Students should see their counselors for more information on registering for one of the ACT exams, which are held throughout the school year. (See below for the current semester's ACT exam prep schedule at HEHS.)
Students can take practice quizzes at the ACT site's Free ACT Practice ACT and Resources web page. Other valuable resources can be found on the ACT website to help students prepare for the exam, as well.
