ACT/SAT Prep Craig High School is an official ACT and SAT test site center for our students, which allows all of our students to take these college prep indicators in a familiar setting, facilitated by familiar faces. We guide our parents and work directly with the ACT and the College Board to make sure that we provide our students with the testing accommodations they are entitled to, based on their individual needs. We encourage our students to take both the SAT and ACT to determine which assessment will best reflect their academic capabilities. In addition to being a test site, we provide test preparation for both the ACT and SAT to familiarize and prepare our students for either college admissions test option.
ACT Preparation The ACT is a test that measures the academic readiness of students and gauges the probability that they will make a successful transition to college. The ACT is accepted by all colleges, and is a viable alternative to the SAT. Craig High has integrated the Educational Planning and Assessment System (EPAS) across our curriculum. The EPAS designated by the ACT is our ACT preparation program for students in grades 9 - 11. The program culminates with our 12th grade students sitting for the ACT in the fall of their senior year. The EPAS assessments are curriculum-based achievement tests designed to measure the knowledge and skills taught in traditional rigorous high school course work. All three components of the EPAS mesaure achievement in specific content areas: English, math, reading and science. Recent research confirms that schools and students who use EPAS see meaningful improvements in readiness for transition to the next level of education. The results of each test administration are reviewed by the student's subject teachers, and are used to provide guidance and direction in determining their specific academic needs, their college readiness, and the effectiveness of our classroom instruction.
SAT/PSAT Preparation In addition to administering the PSAT to 10th and 11th grade students, Craig High School encourages its students to take the SAT/PSAT Prep that is offered as an option in our academic course selections. The primary goal of this course is to familiarize students in preparation for the PSAT/SAT examinations. At the conclusion of the program, our students are better able to:
