Testing Information
ASVAB
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Test is being offered this year at Sherrard High School. This is the military entrance exam, but can also provide valuable career information. Taking this test does not sign students up for the military, or commit them in any way. This test is open to current juniors and seniors.
Test Date: November 13, 2024 8am
See Mrs Drish for more information.
SAT
Illinois has transitioned from the SAT to the ACT as the state's federally required high school accountability assessment for English, language arts, math, and science.
ACT
The state now mandates the school-day ACT as a graduation requirement for all 11th grade students.
9th grade students will take the PreACT 9 Secure.
10th grade students will take the PreACT Secure.
Test Date: March 26,2025
Illinois Science Assessment
Students will no longer take a separate Illinois Science Assessment in grade 11.
It's important to remember that students can register and take the ACT or SAT throughout the year. They do not need to wait until the spring of their junior year to take their first exam. However, the State of Illinois requires students to take the SAT at school as part of their graduation requirements.
