Testing Information
SAT/ACT
SAT Information
The SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil-and-paper entrance exam used by colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. After the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 85% of four-year colleges became test optional (not requiring an SAT or ACT exam score to apply).
Ask Mrs. Crandall-Bean for a fee waiver if you receive free or reduced lunch.
ACT Information
The ACT is accepted at colleges and universities as equallay as the SAT examination. If you are strong with Science courses, you may prefer this exam over the SAT. Consider taking it as some students perform better on this exam than they do on the SAT.
