Entrance Exams

ACT 
​ 
​WWW.ACT.ORG
  • ACT is requiring all examinees to bring and wear masks. You will be prohibited from entering the testing facility without a mask.​ No personal protective equipment (PPE) will be provided by the test center. 
***Students may select to have their ACT scores sent to LHS. All scores sent to LHS are uploaded into Infinite Campus by ITS. Scores are sent to ITS a couple of months after testing is completed. The fastest way to have your score report sent to a college/university is to indicate which schools you want your score report sent to within your initial ACT registration. If you do not indicate a specific college/university at the time you register for the ACT, you can request to have scores sent from ACT at a later point.  There is typically a one week delay due to processing as well as an additional fee for this service.

Accuplacer Placement Test
The Accuplacer is a computer-based placement test designed to assess skill levels in Reading, English, and Math. The results of the Accuplacer are used by academic advisors to place students in the college courses matching their skill level. High school students seeking dual credit without valid placement scores (ACT or SAT) must take the Accuplacer.
