10. The ACT and Clearinghouse
The NCAA Clearinghouse uses a sliding scale between GPA and ACT to determine eligibility. This means the one can help balance out the others.
Examples:
If you have a 2.5 GPA you must have an average of a 17 on all sections of the ACT
If you have a 2.3 GPA you must have an average of a 19 on all sections of the ACT

11. Is this test pass/fail? Why should I always work to improve my score?

12. Goal Setting
Mission: Each student will increase ACT score by at least 2 points by the end of the semester.
Can you grow more than 2 points this semester?
Is it realistic to think you will grow 20 points in a year? What are some realistic goals?

13. Goal Setting
What are your score goals by the January test? Fill in the table with your January goals
Summarize your overall ACT goal for January.
Summarize your ACT goal for graduation. How will achieving this goal allow you to have options after high school?

14. Creating an Action Plan
In order to be prepared for a cumulative test like the ACT you must not only make good grades but ensure that you are truly learning the material and retaining the material.
How will your mindset evolve?

15. Creating an Action Plan
Remember the ACT claims that a student working hard in class and completing all their assignments can expect to grow 2 points per year.
What will you do in class to ensure you grow your 2 points?

16. Creating an Action Plan
If you set a goal of growing two points or more you will probably need to go above and beyond what is done in class.
