Goshen High School will host a building-wide testing day on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Each grade will have a different schedule that day.
9th Grade: All freshmen students will be taking the PreACT 8/9. The PreACT 8/9 is a standardized test designed for 9th-grade students to help them prepare for the ACT college entrance exam. For parents, the PreACT serves as an important tool to help guide college and career planning by offering detailed score reports, interest inventories, and predicted ACT scores.
10th Grade: All sophomores will take the PSAT, a practice version of the SAT that helps students get familiar with standardized testing in preparation for college entrance exams. While it does not count toward college admission, it provides valuable feedback on students’ strengths and areas for growth in reading, writing, and math.
11th Grade: GHS 11th graders will take the Practice Enhanced ACT starting at 7:30 a.m. This is a great, no-pressure chance to experience the new test structure, get familiar with the format, and identify key areas for improvement before taking the official ACT. The test is approximately 3 hours long, and results are for your benefit only—they are not reported to colleges!
Once students receive their scores (via the provided email address within two weeks), join us for the ACT-SAT 101 Workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. This session will help students and parents understand the diagnostic report, choose between the SAT and ACT, and create a personalized test-taking timeline.
