THIS is one of those opportunities at Weber High that deserves some serious hype!
Every fall, our sophomores AND juniors get the opportunity to take a full ACT practice test during the school day—for FREE. Then, in the spring of junior year, our juniors take the official ACT at school. Do the math: by the time a Weber student sits down for that official junior-year ACT, they’ve already had multiple school-day opportunities to experience the test format, timing, pacing, and types of questions they’ll encounter.
And that experience MATTERS.
ACT research shows that preparation and repeated testing can lead to score gains. Students who retest often improve, and ACT specifically points to increased familiarity, confidence, and understanding of the test as factors associated with better performance. Their research also shows continued gains across multiple attempts.
The evidence suppots something we’re already giving our Warriors: practice, repetition, familiarity, feedback, and multiple opportunities to improve. ACT even recommends full-length practice tests as a central part of preparation.
That means when our juniors walk into the real ACT, we don’t want it to feel brand new. They’ve been here before. They know the drill. And they’re READY.
Providing these opportunities during the school day and at no cost to students removes barriers and gives ALL of our Warriors a chance to prepare—not just the students who have access to outside test prep.
That’s preparation with a purpose.
That’s creating opportunity.
But what about the seniors? While our underclassmen were busy practice testing, our seniors had the opportunity to hear from universities all across the state. Representatives from all over Utah came and spoke to our seniors about their programs in an assembly style setting, and then met with individual kids to answer questions and help them enroll. We could have given our seniors a day off, but instead we wanted to give them opportunities.
At Weber, we try and empower all our students with every opportunity.
That’s the Warrior advantage.
