Important Dates for 2025-2026 ACT Prep Class

Completing the ACT Prep Class form means that you are likely preparing for the October 18 ACT test (registration deadline for this test is September 12; late registration is September 30). Sign up for the ACT here. Your ACT registration is unique to you and can only be seen/verified by you. Enrolling in this Prep Course DOES NOT sign you up to take the ACT - you will need to register for that independently.

To take the ACT Prep Class at RPHS, you need to sign up by Sept 22 in order to ensure materials are available by the start of the class. Registration will be capped at 25 students. You will be paying for the materials that you will keep. You will pay online or you can see Ms. Harmon in the finance office to pay with cash or check. The cost for the materials will be $45.

Every class, we will meet in room 212 or 907 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. (See schedule below for locations) Please have your rides ready to pick up at the front office. Students are expected to attend classes both weeks of the course. The practice test is given on the Saturday between the two weeks of classes to give students an opportunity to practice the strategies taught and also have time to continue making improvements before taking the actual ACT Test.

Dates include:

Mon, Oct 6: 2:45-4:45 pm -- Room 212

Tue, Oct 7: 2:45-4:45 pm -- Room 907

Wed, Oct 8: 2:45-4:45 pm -- Room 212

Thur, Oct 9: 2:45-4:45 pm -- Room 907

SATURDAY Oct 11: 8 am - noon (test starts at 8am) -- Room 212

Wed, Oct 15: 2:45-4:45 pm -- Room 212

Thur, Oct 16: 2:45-4:45 pm -- Room 907

This class is set up to provide students the time to study and practice ACT skills. This class will allow students that time that they likely would not force themselves to do on their own and provide them with some skills to better tackle questions.

If students are unable to to attend, please email both Mrs. Roberts and Ms. Wurtz (lisa.roberts@raypec.org AND michelle.wurtz@raypec.org ) to tell them that you will not be there or you will be late. If you have questions, please email one or both of us.

ACCUPLACER is a computer based assessment test created to evaluate students’ skills in reading, writing, and mathematics.  Many community colleges utilize the Accuplacer to determine eligibility for classes.
Metropolitan Community College (MCC) uses the Accuplacer Placement test to insure students are placed in the right classes to help them succeed.  More information can be found HERE.

The document below gives numerous practice questions and the opportunity to prepare for the Accuplacer.

Much of the ACT data show ACT scores for the 25th and 75th percentile of students. But what exactly do these numbers mean? Consider a college profile that presents the following ACT scores for the 25th and 75th percentiles:

• ACT Composite: 21 / 26

• ACT English: 20 / 26

• ACT Math: 21 / 27

The lower number is for the 25th percentile of students who enrolled in (not just applied to) the college. For the school above, 25% of enrolled students received a math score of 21 or lower. The upper number is for the 75th percentile of students who enrolled in the college. For the above example, 75% of enrolled students got a math score of 27 or lower (looked at another way, 25% of students got above a 27).

For the school above, if you have an ACT math score of 28, you would be in the top 25% of applicants for that one measure. If you have a math score of 19, you are in the bottom 25% of applicants for that measure.

Understanding these numbers is important when you plan how many colleges to apply to, and when you figure out which schools are a reach, a match, or a safety. If your scores are below the 25th percentile numbers, you should consider the school a reach. Note that this does not mean you won't get in -- remember that 25% of students who enroll have a score that is at or below that lower number.
