The PreACT is mostly a practice version of the ACT, but it could help connect you with colleges and scholarships. The PreACT can be administered on any date between September 1 and June 1. Contact your school to find out if you\u2019ll be taking the PreACT and when.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the PreACT<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nThe PreACT was designed to help you predict your score on the ACT after an additional year of learning. Your performance on the PreACT will help you make a plan for reaching your goal ACT score. You will most likely take the PreACT as a 10th grader. Unlike the ACT, the highest possible PreACT score is a 35.
