HELENA – Superintendent Elsie Arntzen is implementing a first-time statewide online testing platform for the spring ACT with Writing. The ACT is a college readiness test for high school students in grade 11 that fulfills federally mandated assessment requirements. This statewide online implementation will streamline facilitation and increase access for students. Districts were able to request paper options for students.
In 2022, the OPI piloted an online version of the ACT with a paper option. A total of 541 students took the ACT online and 8,893 completed the test on paper.
