TESTING GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Beginning the 2015-2016 school year the Mid-Prairie School board passed a policy requiring all students to have taken at least one of four assessments prior to graduation in preparation for their post secondary planning and requirements. These tests include the ACT (or SAT), Accuplacer/ALEKS, WorkKeys and the ASVAB. Mid-Prairie students who have selected the graduation option, Preparation for success at a 4-year college, need to complete the ACT (or SAT) as either of these tests are required for college admissions purposes. Students who have selected the Preparation for success at a 2-year college should take either the ACT (or SAT) OR the Accuplacer/ALEKS. Either
of these tests will be used by a two-year college for course placement purposes. Note, if a student plans to begin at a two-year school and transfer to a four-year school, best practice is to complete the ACT (or SAT). Students who selected the Preparation for success in the Work Force should consider taking the COMPASS &/or WorkKeys. Students pursuing the military are able to complete the ASVAB.
