Pre-ACT State Test Administration
Parkland High School
1600 Brewer Rd.
Winston-Salem, NC 27127
November 4, 2026
Dear Parent or Guardian:
All students enrolled in 10th grade are required to take the Pre-ACT®, a test designed to measure academic progress and help identify the knowledge and skills students may need to strengthen as they prepare for college and career opportunities. Your child is scheduled to take the Pre-ACT® on November 10, 2026.
The Pre-ACT provides students with an opportunity to experience a test that closely mirrors the ACT®, which they will take as eleventh-grade students. The test includes four multiple-choice sections: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The questions are similar to those found on the ACT, helping students become familiar with the testing format and expectations.
Pre-ACT scores are reported on the same 1–36 scale used by the ACT, although the highest possible Pre-ACT score is 35. Students also receive a predicted ACT composite score, which can help families and educators better understand a student's current level of college readiness.
Student Pre-ACT scores provide valuable information that can support conversations among parents, students, and school staff about academic planning. Scores may be used to identify strengths and areas for growth, guide course selection, support decisions regarding Advanced Placement or dual enrollment opportunities, and determine whether additional academic support may be beneficial.
It is important to note that as part of the Pre-ACT testing experience students will have the opportunity to create an optional MyACT account. When students opt-in to a MyACT account they will be asked to provide personal information that includes date of birth, mailing address, email address, parent or guardian name, and parent or guardian email address. ACT allows students to enter additional information within the MyACT website beyond what is required to create an account. Any information a student voluntarily provides may be collected and used by ACT. Students and families who choose to provide additional information are encouraged to review and understand the Pre-ACT terms and conditions and the Pre-ACT privacy policy on the ACT website before doing so.
If you have questions about the Pre-ACT administration at our school, please contact the school at 336-771-4700.
Sincerely,
Parkland Testing Team
