ACT testing at Odyssey is complete for the 2021-2022 school year.

The information below is for juniors who were unable to test with us in March 2022:

Any junior who was not able to test needs to register to take the ACT on their own. The fee is around $60 and you can register to take the ACT on your own by clicking here

Please make sure to send your scores to Odyssey Charter High School, ACT School Code 290188 when you take the ACT on your own. If you do not send your scores to Odyssey within 48 hours of taking the ACT, ACT will charge you a $16 fee to do it later.

Please have your official ACT score report sent to us no later than 08/01/2022 in order to enroll for your senior year at Odyssey.

The information below is for current Seniors who do not have ACT scores:

Seniors without ACT scores who have not already registered to take the ACT will not be eligible to graduate in May 2022 given that we need 10 weeks to get ACT scores. Please speak with your counselor about graduating in the Summer or Fall.

General Information about the ACT is below:

To be eligible for graduation, all students must now participate in Nevada’s College and Career Readiness (CCR) assessment in their junior year.  A particular score on the CCR assessment is not required for graduation, but certain scores have benefits such as avoiding remedial college courses, scholarship awards, and college entrance.  Nevada has contracted with the ACT Plus Writing.  This exam is done on the computer and will take approximately four hours.

• Students cannot leave early from the testing session.
• Students are not admitted if they are tardy to the assigned testing session.
• There will only be one start time for testing which will be 7:30 am.

This is a timed test.  Students are not allowed to return to a section once it has completed.  They are also not allowed to work ahead.  CLICK HERE to download a study guide.

Typical ACT testing schedule

• The ACT is accepted by all four-year colleges & universities in the United States
• The ACT is not an aptitude or an IQ test. Instead, the questions on the ACT are directly related to what students have learned in high school courses.
• The ACT is administered in all 50 states and many other countries.
• Points are given for correct answers. No points are deducted for wrong answers.
• Each section is graded separately and are averaged to create a composite score.
• Earning a 21 composite score on the ACT (& meeting all other qualifications) a student would be eligible for the Millennium Scholarship.  Click here to read about this opportunity
• College of Southern Nevada (CSN) requires an 18 on the English and a 22 on the math to avoid completion of remedial classes.

TESTING ENVIRONMENT: At Odyssey, our students complete this exam on the computer as they do all of their curriculum.  Students face their computer to while engaging in the test which creates a one on one experience with the exam. Testing corrals allow students to be free from distractions.  Earplugs are available upon request.

Testing Accommodations:  According to ACT, “Each request for accommodation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis using appropriate documentation. If a particular element of documentation is not provided, the diagnostician must explain why it is not included in the submission.”.  Students must have a 504, IEP or LEP documentation on file at Odyssey.  Parents will request submission of accommodations to ACT by December 17, 2022.  To read ACT’s policy on granting testing accommodations, please CLICK HERE.

Provided materials: Calculators (TI-84 Plus CE and/or scientific), scratch paper, pencils, foam earplugs upon request. ACT also has an embedded calculator. You can practice with their online calculator HERE
