Students enrolled in 11th grade will be given the College- and Career-Readiness Assessment (CCRA), which consists of two parts. For part 1, students will take the ACT, including the writing section. Part 2 consists of a Science Assessment which is aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science and a U.S. History Assessment which is aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards for U.S. History.

Students are required to take the CCRA during the state testing window.  This assessment will be used for state accountability purposes.  These tests are required to meet state graduation requirements.

The PreACT test is given to all 10th grade students each year.  This is an excellent test to help prepare them for the ACT, which is required for all juniors.  The ACT is also used for scholarships/college entrance.

Part of the PreACT includes completion of Non-Test information.  This includes completion of basic information, which is used to prepare reports for the students/school.  It will also include an interest inventory to help students explore career options. If you, as a parent/guardian, would like to review the non-test questions presented to the students, please go to the link below.

Discover the promise of FREE college tuition!

Oklahomans want to see deserving students succeed – students who study and work hard, but whose families find it difficult to afford college. If your child dreams of going to college and works to achieve it, then we can help make it a reality!

To make that happen, the Oklahoma Legislature has set up a unique program for eighth, ninth, 10^th, 11^th, and 12th-grade students (homeschool students must be age 13-6) that will help pay for their college education if their parents' federal adjusted gross income is

• $60,000 with 1 or 2 dependent children OR
• $70,000 with 3 or 4 dependent children OR
• $80,000 with 5 or more dependent children.

But college isn't easy. So to make sure students get ready for college while they're still in high school, the program requires students to take certain high school courses. They will have to pass those courses and keep up their grades. And besides staying on top of the books, students will also have to show that they're in control outside the classroom. That means staying away from trouble like gangs, drugs and alcohol. In short, the student promises to prepare academically for college and stay out of trouble, and in return, the state of Oklahoma promises to help pay the student’s college tuition.
*Special income provisions apply to certain adopted children, children in the custody of court-appointed legal guardians and families receiving Social Security benefits based on the disability or death of the student's parents.

Special income provisions may also apply to children of certified public classroom teachers employed in Oklahoma for a minimum of 10 years.

Contact the Oklahoma's Promise office for more information. In addition, the federal adjusted gross income (AGI) of the student's parents (or the income of the student if the student is officially determined to be financially independent of their parents) may not exceed $100,000 at the time the student begins college and prior to receiving the scholarship. 

If you don't qualify for this program, there are still other ways to pay for college, including scholarships, grants and student loans. For more information on other financial aid, see your counselor for more details, visit the Financial Aid Planning section of OK College Start, or call the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education's student information hotline at 800.858.1840.
