FAQ
regarding PLAN testing through YEAH--and related
topics
-
This YEAH sponsored test administration is available
to any home educated student in 10th
grade. Many school districts also offer this test and
home educated students may be able to test in their home
districts if our dates are not convenient (not all allow
home educated students to take the PLAN with
them).
-
Dates for
Fall 2010 have been scheduled and are listed below. YEAH and YEAH Academy member discounted fees apply.
-
Do you need to test?
See testing guidelines.
-
How
do I pay and register? Payment and
registration is now online. Payment
& Registration
form.
-
Can
I take the PLAN more than once in the same school year?
No. Unlike the ACT, there is only one version of
the PLAN test made each school year. If the
student were to take it more than once, s/he would be
taking the very same test and the scores would not be
valid.
-
What
are other testing options options?
-
If
your student needs to take a text for practice
only, consider taking a free test from one of
the test preparation companies such as Kaplan (www.kaplan.com)
or Princeton Review (www.princetonreview.com).
NOTE: These practice tests do NOT count for either PSEO or the
annual test requirement for homeschooling
families.
-
If
your student needs a college test for application to
PSEO, s/he will have to register for and take either
the ACT (act.org) or
the SAT (collegeboard.com).
The PSAT is also accepted but it is only given in
mid-October, so the possibility for that test is no
longer available for the 2009-10 school year.

WHAT
IS THE PLAN TEST?
-
The
PLAN is made by the ACT organization especially for 10th
graders so that they can practice taking the ACT.
Because it is a practice test, no preparation is necessary.
However, students can take a practice test to learn the
format of the test. (http://www.actstudent.org/plan/tests/index.html)
-
The results will be mailed to your home.
Each student will get a predicted ACT score and career
information. This is a norm-referenced standardized test and
can be used in most school districts as the annual required
test. Most colleges will also allow this test to be
submitted in the PSEO application.
