In an effort to increase access to college and help all Dallas ISD students meet college and career readiness benchmarks, the district is funding the in-school administration of the ACT college entrance exam. Campus test coordinators are administering the ACT with Writing to all students in grade 12 during the regular school day on Tuesday, Oct. 3. Students participating in ACT School Day will receive college-reportable scores, just as they would if they tested on a Saturday for a national ACT administration, and have the additional opportunity to send four score reports to colleges of their choice for free.
