Utah Aspire Plus Testing: April 4-7, 2022
Utah Aspire Plus (UA+) in the State Assessment for 10th grade students. The Utah State Board of Education and ACT have combined efforts to create a hybrid test—half ACT questions and half Utah owned questions, or questions created by a panel of Utah teachers.
Utah Aspire Plus is a tool that can be used to help show your students readiness for college. Students will receive a projected ACT score as part of their test results and information to help them be prepared to take the ACT as a junior.
All sophomore students will take the Utah Aspire Plus in their English, Math, and Science classes April 4-7. Students with current IEP’s and some 504 and ELL students will be called out of class each morning, during April 4-7 and will complete one test each day.
The administration and faculty of Copper Hills High School encourages all 10th grade students to take the Utah Aspire Plus tests. The Utah Aspire Plus is a building block to assist your student on their journey to college; 9th and 10th grade student take the Utah Aspire Plus (grade specific content), 11th grade students take the ACT. Your student will receive valuable information regarding college readiness and Copper Hills will obtain constructive information about our teaching effectiveness.
Of course, Opting-Out is always an option, but we encourage you to help your student harness the benefit of taking these tests. If your student is college bound, we hope that you will support the State of Utah in their efforts to help our students maximize their potential with the UA+ and the ACT.
