Students may take the ACT whenever they deem appropriate. Our general recommendation is that students take the test after they have completed at least Algebra I and Geometry in their math course sequence.
The Alabama State Department of Education currently provides each 11th grader with a free school-day test opportunity in the spring. The registration for this test will be handled at school. More details will come on this next semester. Because all 11th graders will test on campus in March, we usually discourage registering for either the February or April national test dates. There is not enough time for the students to receive their scores and complete any additional prep work before they would take the test again. (See the "tip" below.)
