True Score - ACT Practice Test

TruScore practice tests allow students to take up to 2 separate full-length tests. There are 4 subject area tests that makeup one full-length ACT:  English, Math, Reading, and Science.  You can take all 4 in one sitting to experience what it will be like when you take the ACT for real or you can take each subject area test at separate times.

After you take the test(s), you will be able to see your score report.  It will break down each subject area test, showing you what concepts you need to work more on.   You'll see all the questions, what your answer was and what the correct answer is.  They have videos that explain the answer to each question.  You will get a list of recommendations on what to focus on to improve your scores.

Signature Video

Each document needs to be filled out completely and contain an electronic signature.Signatures cannot be just the first and last name typed out. Adobe Acrobat allows users to create a digital signature to match their actual in-person signature. To help make this process easier we created a tutorial video that breaks down the steps to sign summer paperwork.

About UB Points

UB points are one way we show students' participation, behavior, and commitment to the program. Points are documented each semester and will be used to determine if a student is eligible to attend cultural trips, their Senior trip, receive a graduation cord, and their UB status. 

Points Breakdown
Each Saturday Academic Meeting students will receive a total of 40 points, 10 points per class. The class points are broken down to include student's participation (5 points) and their behavior (5 points). If a student happens to miss a Saturday Academic Meeting they can still make up their points by completing the assignments posted on Canvas for each course. 

Students can earn extra points and be deducted extra points outside of the 40 points. If a teacher feels a student is going above and beyond during class they can give them Standout Student points, which is an additional two points. If a teacher informs staff that a student's behavior is continuing to repeat even after discussion students will be deducted two points each time. Lastly, if a student is late to the general meeting or late to their class they will be deducted one point. 

For Seniors

You now have the ability to track how much money you have earned since UB went virtual. To find that information you will need to go to the "UB Points" course on your Canvas account. Once you are in the UB Points course, select "Grade". Scroll down and find the assignment called "Stipend Tracker". The points shown for that assignment is how much money you have earned.
