JCHS Counselor Jamie Chiaventone gave a presentation to our 8th-grade WMS students about the PreACT, which all 8th-graders will take on Monday, November 24th.
The test is a precursor to the ACT and provides school administration with baseline data in English, Math, Reading, and Science. The data is used to help determine the courses 8th graders will be placed in their freshman year.
During the presentation, students were provided test-taking tips and were encouraged to get a good night's sleep the day before the test, eat breakfast, and come to school with a fully charged Chromebook.
