Plan to Take the PLAN

Ever wondered how you might do on the ACT if you took it today? You can get a good idea of how you might score by taking the PLAN Assessment during your sophomore year. It can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and give you a leg up on making plans for your academic and career future.

Why take it?
Before you start getting worked up over the idea of yet another standardized test, the first thing that you should know is that the PLAN is designed to help you, and your results won't affect your grades or your transcripts. It will help you focus your test prep time and get you going in the right direction so you can put your time between now and college graduation to the best possible use.

Get the lay of the land
Wouldn't it be a relief to know ahead of time if your chances of acing the ACT are good? The academic assessment portion of the PLAN mimics that of the ACT by measuring your skills in English, Math, Reading, and Science. It takes about two hours to complete this portion, much like it would on the actual ACT. While this may seem like a bummer of a way to spend a Saturday morning, it's an investment of time in your future and is time well spent.

Get to know yourself
The PLAN is much more than an academic precursor to the ACT. The assessment also includes the UNIACT Interest Inventory, an interests and skills inventory that matches you with broad career fields which may be best suited for you.
