Need college-ready scores? Read this!

Attention students who need to take the ACT, SAT, or PERT to earn college-ready scores for Early College or Traditional Dual Enrollment program continuation, today is the last day to sign up for the October ACT. Oct. 7th is the last day to register for November SAT test students (see chart below). This will be the last round of ACT and SAT students can use to meet the December 1 deadline for Spring FSCJ courses (second semester classes).

 Students who want to take the PERT in October must sign up with Mrs. Crowden-Richardson during 2nd or 3rd period (room 844). Seats for this test are assigned in priority order - students who need test scores to meet graduation requirements, then students who need scores for dual enrollment.
