ACT AND SAT INFORMATION

While standardized test scores should be taken seriously, they are not to be over-stressed. A good score will help your chances of acceptance to any school you choose, and it could qualify you for additional college scholarships and financial assistance. But, if you are not a good test-taker, do not stress - it is just one factor that colleges look at when making enrollment decisions. Stay calm and use the below resources to prepare. 

Hoban Testing Day

Hoban will be holding a testing day in February. No regular classes will be held in person on this day. Student attendance on this day depends on the grade level your child is in. Please see the section below that pertains to your  grade and activities for the day. For students who are asked to attend, the beginning of testing will coincide with the normal start of the school day. Testing room locations will be sent in an email to your student prior to testing.

• Seniors do not attend school on this day. We encourage seniors to take advantage of this day off to schedule a college visit, shadow in a career of interest or work on their college/scholarship applications.

• All juniors should be in attendance for the ACT administration. This ACT is paid for by the state and can be used for college admissions. 

• All sophomores should be in attendance this day to the PreACT. 
• Freshmen are required to attend this day.  We will be administering the IOWA test which is required for graduation purposes. Students must meet competency scores in both English and math in order to graduate. 

Testing will conclude around noon for most students taking the ACT, PreACT and IOWAs. Students with testing accommodations may take longer.
