PreACT 8/9 reports also provide career suggestions based on students’ interests and strengths and provides an indicator of progress toward the ACT National Career Readiness standards. • Testing will take place at testing locations around Kansas on Friday, October 18. • Stay tuned to find out where you will need to report to test. • Look for more information regarding the PreACT 8/9 in your Advisory course or reach out to your homeroom teacher. • More questions?
