College Entrance Exams
College entrance tests measure a student’s ability to do college level work and are required by most four year colleges and some two year colleges. Reviewing standardized test scores allows admissions personnel to compare students from different states, schools, and academic backgrounds.
JUNIORS: ACT/ SAT: taken in the spring of the junior year to provide additional information to the college(s) of your choice.
SENIORS: ACT/ SAT: If you didn’t take the exam in your junior year or if junior year ACT or SAT scores are lower than you think they should be, take an October, November or December exam.
