PLAN - 10th Grade
PLAN is the tenth grade component of the Educational Planning and Assessment System. Benefits of the PLAN assessments include the following:
- Appropriate use of the assessment helps to prepare students for the final years of high school coursework and post-high school transition.
- Educators are given the means to strengthen high school academic planning and career exploration.
- Schools have a midpoint to monitor academic progress at a point when there is still time to make changes.
- Students are given the opportunity to further investigate educational and career options.
- The PLAN test provides preparation for the ACT exam.
