<p>Okay, so I just recently learned that all of the sophomores in my school are taking the PLAN test next week. I live in a school that focuses solely on the SAT, so when they announce they're giving a practice ACT exam, the teachers don't even know that ACT is an acronym rather than simply "act". Because of this, I literally know nothing about what I'm about to do. Do I need to study? Are the scholarships offered as big of a deal as the ones offered for the PSAT? Is it rare to be told that you're college-ready or whatever it is? How difficult is it? How long is it? Are the career evaluations accurate? Should I be stressed, or is it a breeze to do well? I think that it's clear that I'm clueless, and any help would be appreciated. Thank you!</p>
<p>Ahahahahah no. The PLAN is virtually worthless except as a practice test for the ACT iirc, no offense.</p>
<p>The PLAN is worthless when compared to the PSAT.</p>
<p>The PLAN itself isn’t important and can’t get you any scholarships as far as I know (I took the PLAN in tenth grade and at this point I don’t even know how to access my scores), but studying for the PLAN is essentially the same as studying for the ACT, and there are obvious benefits to that.</p>

<p>What do you mean by this?</p>
<p>“Career evaluations” are generally inaccurate.</p>
<p>Haha, okay thanks guys. To answer your questions my physics teacher told me that you could get scholarships by taking it, and I was also told that they tell you what career they recommend you go into</p>
<p>He might be confusing it with the PSAT. I’ve never heard of any scholarships from the PLAN test. The thing is just a measure of how you might do on the ACT. Don’t worry about it.</p>
