Below you will find the 2011-2012 ACT Test dates. Start taking your ACT Test in junior year and don’t wait until your senior year, especially do not wait until second semester senior year. By starting in your junior year you have many chances to improve your score. We will have ACT packets in the counseling office, but you can register online by going to www.act.org. The Wright City High School CEEB code is 263675. You will probably be taking the test at either Warrenton or Wentzville, but remember to use our code otherwise we will not be sent your results. Also, when you register for the ACT Test and you know what college or university you want your results to be sent to, please include their codes on the registration form. There is a list available either in paper form or on the website.
