On April Wednesday, April 8, the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors of Normal West will all be participating in the all-school testing day along with select seniors. Seniors not required to test will be excused from attendance and have the day off from school.
If you will be testing, please be sure to read the information below prior to testing day so that you are ready to test without any issues!
Testing Locations:
On test day, make sure you report to your assigned locations by 8:20 AM. All testing will begin promptly at 8:30 AM.
Juniors will head to the big gym, the south gym, and 150 AB, depending on where they have been assigned. Freshmen and sophomores will be spread out throughout the classrooms on the first and second floors.
Students who will need extra time to test will be assigned a more secluded space so as not to be disturbed by other students who have finished testing.
HERE is the link to testing locations.
Preparing for test day:
This is an important test, as it will help with college admissions and potential scholarships, so make sure to get lots of rest the night before. Juniors taking the ACT have practice tests to complete, and other grades also have practice tests they can do.
Practice exams can be found HERE
