Seniors who are wanting to take the WorkKeys test to try to qualify for the state scholarship program will be able to take the test on Friday Jan. 27th. Wondering if your senior should take this test? Seniors should take the WorkKeys if they are on track with the classes needed to meet scholarship qualifying criteria but have not yet achieved a 24 or higher on the ACT. A few things to note about scholarship criteria:
1.) Students must have a "C" or higher (83% or higher)in all classes required by the state to graduate
2.) Students must have a cumulative GPA of a "B" or higher (3.0 = 88% or higher) at the end of Sr. year
3.) Students must have taken the required courses to meet the requirements of each scholarship--I have visited with all students at least once this year about their status on this. If they don't know, they can stop in again on Monday and I will let them know if it would be beneficial for them to take the WorkKeys or not.
Please contact me with any questions you may have. Remember, this is a $6000 scholarship...if your senior is close, especially if they only need the test scores to qualify, encourage them to take the WorkKeys. The cost to take the 3 required tests is $15.00 ($5 each).
Online practice tests can be found and taken at http://www.act.org/workkeys/practice for $5.00 each.
