Every student has access to FREE ACT prep through Shmoop on their Canvas account. Students can do a short diagnostic test and then get specialized help in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies.

Log into your Canvas and look for the "Shmoop for Schools" link in the left-hand navigation bar.

If you cannot find Shmoop in Canvas, you can go to shmoop.com and create a free account. You will need the "magic word" (HONEY) to make it free.

Northridge High School only offers the ACT test because all Utah universities accept it. If you want to take the SAT, you can register to take it at another location in our area. Please visit SAT Registration at College Board.
