ACT SCHOOL DAY TESTING - APRIL 23,2024 - CLASS OF 2025
Each spring, Juniors have the option to take the ACT at school during the school day. For the class of 2025, the ACT will be offered at Brebeuf on Thursday, April 23, 2024 and costs $53. To register your student for the ACT test at Brebeuf on April 23, please complete this Google Form. Registration for this exam will close on December 15, 2023.
If your student wants to take the ACT at school on April 23 and currently utilizes accommodations at school, those accommodations must be approved by ACT for this exam.
What that means for you/your student:
- If you currently test with accommodations, we need to submit your accommodations request to ACT for approval in their state and district testing portal. For the ACT, accommodations are submitted via the Testing Accommodations Coordinator - Mrs. Ashworth. The ACT provides the following information for requisition accommodations:
For examinees who have a valid, current Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan (504 Plan) that authorizes allowable accommodations that have been requested for the ACT, a copy of the IEP or 504 Plan will be sufficient to demonstrate eligibility and need for the same allowable accommodations on the ACT test.
If an examinee does not have a valid, current IEP or Section 504 Plan, ACT requires additional documentation from a qualified professional to establish eligibility pursuant to ADA standards. The ADA defines a disability as a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits a person’s ability to perform one or more major life activities, as compared to the average person in the general population. For mental impairments, including learning disorders and ADHD, ACT follows the guidelines of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), when evaluating whether a candidate’s documentation demonstrates the presence of a disabling condition.
To qualify for accommodations in the absence of a valid, current IEP or Section 504 Plan, an examinee must submit documentation that:
- Identifies a professionally diagnosed physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; and
- Requests allowable accommodations that are appropriate and reasonable for the documented disability.
The documentation must be reflected in a letter or report from a licensed, qualified professional, and complete diagnostic documentation may be required in some cases to substantiate a need for accommodations. See Criteria for Diagnostic Documentation and Documentation Guidelines by Disability Type.
Accommodations are often shown to be appropriate and reasonable by submitting documentation which confirms that the examinee has a history of using the accommodations in a similar setting. In the absence of a current IEP or Section 504 Plan, examinees are encouraged to submit one or more of the following documents:
- A current and official accommodations plan (other than an IEP or Section 504 Plan), or
If the examinee does not have a documented history of receiving the requested accommodations, the examinee must submit an Exceptions Statement Form, providing a detailed explanation of why accommodations are needed at this time.
While the test date might seem quite far in the future, the deadline to submit a request for approved accommodations is Friday, February 2, 2024.
We recommend that families complete their registration as soon as possible, and for students who are requesting accommodations, have their required paperwork uploaded. In order for Brebeuf to submit your ACT accommodations request, you must submit a completed ACT Consent to Release Form, which can be found here.
