College Testing (SAT/ACT)
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM REQUIREMENTS
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM REQUIREMENTS
Most four-year colleges and universities required high school students to take an entrance exam in order to be considered for admission. There are two testing programs, the SAT which is administered by the College Board, and the ACT which is produced by the American College Testing Program. These tests are designed to assess high school student’s general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. Most colleges will accept either ACT or SAT scores; check with individual colleges to learn their specific requirements or ask your school guidance counselor. It is recommended that students take both the SAT and ACT, for most colleges will consider whichever score is highest when both are taken.
Registration for the ACT and/or SAT must be done online.
