Front Entrance of MHS

Testing Dates 2024-2025

Testing Information 2024-2025

This year, the Illinois State Board of Education has contracted with ACT for the April state testing window.  This means that all Grade 11 students starting this year will take the ACT exam in April.   In past years, SAT was the state exam given in April.  Students in Grade 12 do NOT need to retest using the ACT. 

Both ACT and SAT are valid and widely accepted college entrance exams at all post-secondary schools.  Please check with individual universities to confirm any testing requirements.                                                                       

Specific information for Grade 11 students about taking the ACT will be posted below on this page throughout the year.
