Tip: Orders will be placed through the CCRIS online ordering system. You may access the system through an existing CCRIS account or by creating a new account.

Tip: Select the OREGON GRADE 10 ONLY program from the Choose Program dropdown menu in CCRIS. Selecting the incorrect contract will affect your reporting and invoicing.

Tip: Order your test materials three to four weeks before your test date. This will allow time for delivery and check-in of your test materials and time for your students to complete the examinee information prior to testing.

Tip: Order one PreACT Test Material Package for each student that will test. An overage is automatically included in each order.

Tip: Only grade 10 students currently enrolled at a public school in Oregon are eligible to test under the Oregon contract. If you are a public school that would like to test homeschool students or students in another grade, please contact PreACT Customer Support for guidance.

Tip: Test coordinators should verify completeness and accuracy of materials received from room supervisors before returning answer documents. Check that the test form code and grade are correctly gridded on each answer document.

Tip: Return the answer documents for all testing (standard, accommodations, or make-up) in the same shipment. Do not return any test booklets or unused answer documents (or any other unused PreACT test materials).

Tip: The polymailer envelopes include prepaid FedEx return shipping labels already affixed. You may leave the packed polymailer envelopes in a secure FedEx pick-up area at your site or FedEx drop-off site. Do not leave your packed polymailer envelopes in an unsupervised pick or drop-off site. Two options are available for return:

2. Drop off materials at a staffed FedEx location. Please obtain a receipt for tracking purposes.
