Great Job on Completing the Math Mentor Challenge!
You've shown impressive math skills - now it's time to help your students unlock their full potential in English, math, reading, and science. We have the perfect tools to support their middle school learning journey and set them up for success as they prepare to showcase their skills.
Introducing: PreACT It is never too early to help students get comfortable with the ACT test. PreACT Assessments provide 8th-10th grade students with valuable real-world practice for the ACT, helping them build confidence, explore new opportunities, and start planning for their future academic goals.
Why Choose PreACT?
- Real World Practice: Gives younger students a taste of what academic assessment feels like.
- Predicted ACT Score: Provides a predicted score aligned to the ACT College and Career Readiness Benchmarks (see a sample below).
- Identifies Strengths and Opportunities: Highlights areas of strength and growth, setting students on the path to academic and career achievement.
Ready to help your students reach their goals? PreACT is here to guide the way!
Bonus Round…
Here’s a fun fact... Each question you answered directly aligns to a Reporting Category within the ACT College and Career Readiness Standards. These Standards describe what students who score in specific score ranges on the ACT® mathematics section are likely to know and be able to do.
For example, in the table below, the first question was aligned to the Algebra (401) reporting category and represents math content in the 20-23 score range on the ACT. If a student in the 9th grade got this question (or any question at an 18 or higher score range) they are considered "on target" for that score range.
