Mountain View High School Juniors and Parent(s),
This spring, each high school in MUSD (MHS, MVHS, and MCAT) is planning to offer the ACT exam for juniors who are interested in attending a university or college after high school. If your son or daughter is planning to apply and attend a university or college, please read this letter carefully as it will outline the specifics of this opportunity so you can make an informed choice as to whether your son or daughter should participate.
This March, Mountain View will be providing an opportunity for our JUNIORS to take the ACT. The ACT exam is a national assessment used by many four-year colleges and universities for admission, and MUSD is providing this opportunity at no cost to you. The test will measure your student's skill levels as they prepare for their next steps after high school. The test itself is a multiple-choice exam that assesses a student's math, reading, English, and science comprehension and takes roughly 3 hours. If you would like more information about the ACT, please visit their website at www.act.org and click on "Students and Parents."
Due to the recent events surrounding COVID-19, many colleges, including the three state universities (NAU, ASU, and UA), have gone "Test Optional" or "Test Blind". They are NOT using the ACT as a determining factor for admissions, which may influence your decision to have your son or daughter take the exam. Currently, many of these schools are communicating that they will remain this way for the junior class. See www.fairtest.org to see if your college or university of interest is one of these.
If your son or daughter is interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, please have them complete the Google Form linked below (students received an email as well via their student Gmail with this link). This information will help us adequately prepare for test day procedures.
