What is Diag Day?
Each spring, Galin Education partners with libraries and community centers across the area to host a “Diagnostic ACT® Day.” While high school juniors are in school taking an official ACT® as part of Wisconsin’s state-wide testing initiative, sophomores can have the opportunity to take a free, baseline test. This diagnostic test will allow 10th graders to determine their areas of strength and opportunities for improvement over the next year. This event is co-hosted by our non-profit organization, Galin Scholars, and is free of charge for all local 10th graders.
