Arbor View High School Counseling

The PLAN® test is a comprehensive guidance resource that helps students measure their current academic development, explore career/training options, and make plans for the remaining years of high school and post-graduation years. This test includes four multiple-choice tests: English, math, reading, and science. These curriculum-based tests cover the skills and knowledge that are commonly taught in the nation’s schools and are judged to be important for success in both high school and college. The tests measure what students know and what they are able to do with their knowledge.

 

PLAN can help all students – those who are college-bound as well as those who are likely to enter the workforce directly after high school.

 

As a “pre-ACT” test, PLAN is a reliable predictor of success on the ACT and an early indicator of college readiness. At the same time, Arbor View High School recognizes the importance of PLAN testing for all students, as it focuses attention on both career preparation and improving academic achievement.

 

For students, PLAN can:

• stimulate thinking and planning for life after high school

• assess status of academic preparation for post-secondary education

• support meaningful high school course selection for junior and senior years

• relate personal characteristics to educational and career options

• help focus test preparation to improve ACT scores

• provide an estimated ACT Assessment Composite score
