ACT with Writing, PreACT Secure, PreACT 9 Secure
The procurement process for the high school accountability assessment has concluded. As the result, Illinois will
transition to the ACT, beginning with the 2024-25 school year. Students in grade 11, and
grade 12 as required, will participate in the ACT with Writing which includes tests in English, Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Writing. Students in grade 9 will participate in the PreACT 9 Secure and those in grade 10 will participate in the PreACT Secure, each of which includes tests in English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. School staff will administer these assessments online. Accommodations and EL supports are available. Scores from the administration of the ACT with Writing (if taken with ACT Standard Time or ACT-approved accommodations) can be used by students for a variety of purposes including college admission, scholarships, and NCAA eligibility.
Check back often as new information will be added as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
