All sophomore students at Ryle will be taking the PLAN test on Tuesday, September 14, 2010.
Valuable for all 10th-grade students, the PLAN test measures academic progress in high school. It is designed to improve students' preparation for education, training, and work after high school while they still have time to adjust their high school courses. PLAN has content similar to the ACT® test.

Why should my kid take PLAN?
All 10th grade students in Kentucky take the PLAN as part of the state's educational testing system. Taking PLAN is a great way to prepare for the ACT. In fact, students who take PLAN tend to score higher on the ACT than students who do not take PLAN.
It covers the same subjects—English, mathematics, reading, and science—and provides an estimated ACT score.
PLAN points out academic strengths and areas where improvement is needed and lets students know if they're on track for college.
PLAN helps them find careers that match their interests and even helps connect them with colleges interested in them.
What subjects does the PLAN test cover and how long does it take?
PLAN includes four multiple-choice tests covering English, mathematics, reading, and science.
Subject Number of Questions How Long It Takes
- English 50 questions 30 minutes
- Math 40 questions 40 minutes
- Reading 25 questions 20 minutes
- Science 30 questions 25 minutes
PLAN also includes a 72-item interest inventory that asks questions about the types of work tasks students would or would not like to do.
