ACT

This test is offered in Iola only.

The ACT consists of four multiple-choice tests: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The ACT Plus Writing includes a Writing Test. Allen's Iola Campus is a testing site for the national testing dates of the ACT. Register online at www.actstudent.org. After you create an account at this website, nearly all communication with ACT will be handled through email.

What Do My Placement Scores Mean?

All associate degrees require at least one math course and one writing course. Some certificate programs also require math or writing. The required math and writing courses for each degree are listed on the program degree sheets.

Your placement scores are used to place you in the level of math, writing or reading that is right for your skill level. If your placement scores do not place you into the course that is required for your degree or certificate, you will need to begin at the level into which you tested and work your way through each course to the required one. These courses are called developmental courses.

You may take the ACT, the ACCUPLACER or the SAT to determine your placement scores. (ACT Compass scores may be submitted as Allen no longer administers this test.) Once your scores have been determined, you can view the placement chart for math, writing, and reading courses. Your Advisor can help you understand which classes you will be enrolled into based on how you scored.

 

Recent high school graduates or students still in high school may be eligible for exceptions to the sub-score requirements (English and math only). To check your eligibility, consult the placement chart.
