After juniors take the free Colorado ACT in school on Wednesday, April 22th, they will re-take an official ACT with Writing on June 13th. This fall, all juniors will register for the June 13th test in their advisory class.
Class of 2010 juniors who are planning Early Decision applications to highly competitive schools may also need to take the SAT Reasoning Test and selected SAT Subject Tests on 5/2/09 and 6/6/09 respectively. We will discuss this issue further in college planning conferences with juniors and their families.
