Abstract	High-stakes, standardized testing plays an important role in the lives of many students as they apply to college and compete for scholarships. In states where college readiness measures, like the ACT® test, are used for school and district accountability, the ACT scores of all students, whether college-bound or not, are a top priority for school administrators and teachers. To ensure all students meet the proficiency standards set by states for each subject, educators are employing a multifaceted approach to prepare students for taking the ACT test. In this paper, the authors report some of the strategies, practices, and perspectives educators shared with them. The shared experiences and perspectives may provide useful insight for other educators grappling with similar challenges across the country. (ERIC).
