The Prairie State ACT test that all junior students take on April 24 at Fenton does not include the optional writing portion.  Many universities require that you take an ACT test with writing.  The guidance department recommends that you take the ACT National test on Saturday, April 14 at Fenton.  This test can include the writing portion needed for college admission.  The cost of the test is $49.50 and you must register online by March 9.  The cost includes sending your scores to four colleges of your choice.  We highly recommend you send your scores directly from ACT.  It can delay your admission decision and will cost $10.00 per school if you don't include the schools on your registration form.  If you have questions, please contact your student's counselor for more information.
