The ACT is a nationally-recognized test that assesses a student’s likelihood of succeeding in college-level courses. If you intend to go to a college or university, the ACT may be the most important test you will take as a high school student. Students who perform well on the ACT are more likely to be admitted into selective universities and more likely to receive significant scholarship money in Arizona and nationwide. Students typically pay $90 to take the ACT, but the Peoria Unified School District and Centennial High School offer the ACT for free to all juniors!
- All Centennial freshmen take the ACT Aspire for free. ACT Aspire gauges students' growing proficiency in some of the introductory content that the ACT will assess their junior year.
- Centennial sophomores can take the optional Pre-ACT to continue preparing for the junior-year ACT. The Pre-ACT costs $20 and is typically offfered in February.
- All juniors take the ACT, typically in April. Our school offers a full-length practice test in February, in addition to after-school test prep sessions during the month that precedes the ACT.

The Pre-ACT will familiarize sophomores with the content, difficulty, and format of the actual ACT. Evidence indicates that sophomores who complete the Pre-ACT achieve higher ACT scores one year later as juniors. The ACT is required for all juniors; the Pre-ACT is optional for sophomores. While the ACT is free for juniors, the Pre-ACT costs $20 to cover the costs associated with administering and grading the test.
