Attention Juniors and Junior Parents Lindbergh High School College and Career Readiness Assessment – Spring 2025

In Spring 2025, all Juniors at Lindbergh High School will have the opportunity to take a college or career readiness assessment. These assessments measure your abilities and help predict future academic and occupational success. Depending on your post-high school plans, you can choose the assessment that best aligns with your goals:

• I plan to attend a 2-year community or technical college.
  The Accuplacer is the recommended test for you. It is a series of tests that assess your skills in reading, writing, and math, helping college administrators place you in the appropriate courses.

• I plan to attend a 4-year college or university after graduation.
  The ACT is the recommended test for you. The ACT is a widely used entrance exam for colleges and universities, covering subjects such as math, reading, English, and science.

• I plan to enlist in the military, enter the workforce, or I am unsure of my plans.
  The ASVAB is the recommended test for you. The ASVAB assesses your strengths in science, math, and language. It is required for military enlistment but is also helpful in identifying your skills and interests, even if you're undecided about your future plans. The ASVAB can guide your course selection for college and help with career decisions.

The form in SchoolLinks needs to be completed by Wednesday, October 23rd. Students, you can sign into SchoolLinks here to make the choice.

The story beautifully captures their journey of self-discovery, love, and the importance of family.
